NCT ID NCT07518082
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study will test whether using virtual reality (VR) to teach handwashing helps preschool children learn better than traditional methods. Sixty-six children aged 5-6 will be split into three groups: VR education, standard teaching, or no extra teaching. Researchers will measure their handwashing knowledge, skills, and emotional reactions before and two weeks after the lessons.
