What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing

Completed This study
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This study tests whether virtual reality (VR) training can help nursing students learn to administer medications more safely. Third- and fourth-year nursing students are randomly assigned to receive VR training either first or later. The training includes three 90-minute sessions with immersive simulations of routine, high-alert, and semi-emergency medication scenarios, followed by group discussions. Researchers measure students' confidence and self-reported safe medication practices.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
virtual reality-based medication administration training (AcroXeR NursingVR)
What this could lead to
If effective, VR training could become a standard tool for nursing education, improving patient safety before students enter real clinical settings.
What could go wrong
This is a small study with 60 students at one university, so results may not apply broadly. VR may cause cybersickness in some users.
