Summary

This study tested whether a virtual reality (VR) room called VR CAVE can teach community health nursing skills as effectively as a physical mock home. 150 final-year nursing students practiced home visits for patients with COPD and tuberculosis in both settings. Results showed both methods improved skills equally, but students reported higher satisfaction and confidence with VR.

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 (VR CAVE) training
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that VR is a practical, scalable way to train nursing students for home visits, especially when real-world training sites are limited.
What could go wrong
This is a completed educational study with 150 students at one university, so results may not apply to other settings or measure real-world patient care outcomes.
