Summary
This study tested whether using a gamified virtual reality app or a video demonstration helps nursing students learn subcutaneous injection skills better than standard teaching alone. 96 first-year nursing students were split into three groups and their skills and confidence were measured. The goal is to find the most effective way to train future nurses.
