EDUCATIONAL PROBLEMS

This study tested whether a 10-15 minute immersive virtual reality session using games like Beat Saber could reduce anxiety and stress in nursing students before they entered clinical practice. 90 students were randomly assigned to either use VR goggles or follow their usual prep…

This study looked at whether simulation training helps midwifery students learn family planning counseling and how to create educational materials. 96 students were split into groups: one practiced with trained actors, another with fellow students, and a control group did not get…

This pilot study tested whether adding ergonomics training—teaching safe body positions—to the surgical curriculum helps OB/GYN residents learn and remember how to move safely to prevent injuries. Twenty-three residents took a class on ergonomics; some also got hands-on practice …

This study compared two teaching models—flipped learning and team-based learning—for teaching cervical manual therapy to 66 physiotherapy students. The flipped group learned theory at home via video and practiced in class, while the team-based group learned entirely in class. Res…

This study looked at whether mental rotation and 3D perception abilities influence how well physiotherapy students learn hands-on skills. 118 students completed spatial tests and a training session using VR and computer tasks. The goal is to find ways to improve teaching methods …

This study looked at whether doctors remember how to perform a rare emergency airway procedure equally well after training on a low-cost homemade model versus a commercial one. Forty-four resident doctors were trained on one of two models and tested right away, then retested 3-4 …

This study tested if using a video game helps schoolchildren learn how to do chest compressions for CPR. Over 300 students in Brazil took part. The goal was to see if the game improved how well they performed compressions compared to standard training.

This study looked at whether using web 2.0 tools (like interactive online platforms) in nursing classes helps students participate more, stay interested, and feel more motivated. About 110 nursing students took part, and researchers measured their motivation, interest, and attitu…

This study looked at whether a teaching method called the Fishbowl method helps nursing students learn breathing and coughing exercises better than standard teaching. 63 first-year nursing students took part. The Fishbowl method involves students observing, discussing, and practi…

This study tested whether using a biplane ultrasound (showing two views at once) helps doctors perform caudal epidural anesthesia more effectively in children compared to standard single-plane ultrasound. The trial involved 46 boys aged 4 months to 10 years undergoing circumcisio…

This study tested whether using magnified 3D-printed carpal (wrist) bones helps medical students learn anatomy. 126 students took quizzes before and after using the models, and rated the models for detail and ease of learning. The goal was to see if this teaching tool improves un…

This study tested whether a mixed reality simulation could increase empathy in anesthesiology trainees. 81 participants completed empathy surveys before and after the immersive experience. The goal was to see if this type of training could help future doctors better understand th…

This study looked at a new way to teach medical students how to use a portable ultrasound machine at the patient's bedside. The goal was to reduce in-person contact while still making sure students learn well. About 69 fifth- and sixth-year medical students took part, with some l…
