NCT ID NCT07677592
First seen Jul 01, 2026 · Last updated Jul 01, 2026
Summary
This study compares immersive virtual reality (VR) training to traditional classroom lectures for teaching nurses how to care for stomas—surgical openings on the body. About 100 nurses will be randomly assigned to either two VR sessions or one classroom session. Researchers will measure their knowledge, skills, confidence, and satisfaction before, right after, and one month after training.
