Summary

This study tested whether immersive virtual reality (VR) or small-group practice with classmates better helped nursing students learn how to perform a respiratory system physical exam. 76 second-year nursing students were randomly assigned to either a VR simulation or a peer-assisted group. Both groups improved, but the VR group showed significantly greater gains in knowledge and hands-on skills, though they took slightly longer to complete the exam. Students also found the VR simulation easy to use and practical.
