Nursing students to train in virtual worlds for safer injections
NCT ID NCT07396207
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether a fun, metaverse-based learning program can improve nursing students' knowledge and attitudes about giving injections in a specific safe spot (ventrogluteal). About 60 first-year nursing students will either use the gamified virtual program or get standard teaching. Researchers will test their knowledge before and after to see if the high-tech approach works better.
