NCT ID NCT06724003
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a computer-based virtual reality simulation could improve nursing students' knowledge, self-confidence, and satisfaction when learning how to provide oral care to unconscious patients. Sixty-eight first-year nursing students in Turkey participated. The VR simulation was designed as a single scenario, and students' learning was measured using a validated scale. The goal is to see if this modern training tool can better prepare future nurses for this important task.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
computer-based virtual reality simulation
What this could lead to
If successful, this VR training method could be used to better prepare nursing students for real-world oral care of unconscious patients.
What could go wrong
This is a small, single-site study with only 68 students, so results may not apply broadly. It measures short-term learning outcomes, not actual patient care improvements.
