NCT ID NCT07305714

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests whether a virtual reality (VR) program can help nursing students learn how to counsel day surgery patients. Sixty nursing students will either receive the VR training or standard education. The goal is to see if the VR approach is feasible and acceptable, not yet to prove it improves skills.

What this could lead to

If successful, this could show that VR is a feasible way to train nursing students in patient counseling, potentially improving patient education in day surgery settings.

What could go wrong

This is a small pilot feasibility study with only 60 participants, so results may not be generalizable. It measures feasibility, not actual patient outcomes, and technical issues or low engagement could limit success.
