NCT ID NCT07583537
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether using augmented reality (AR) or a 3D hip model helps first-year nursing students learn how to give intramuscular injections better than traditional methods. 146 students were randomly assigned to practice with AR, a 3D model, or a standard model. Researchers measured their knowledge, skills, anxiety, and satisfaction right after training and again four weeks later to see how much they remembered.
