Summary

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 preparation. Researchers measured anxiety, stress, adaptation, and satisfaction. The goal is to see if a brief VR break can help students feel more relaxed and focused.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Immersive Virtual Reality (VR goggles with Beat Saber and TRIPP apps)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple, drug-free way to help nursing students feel calmer and more prepared before clinical training.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 90 students. The effects on actual clinical performance may be limited, and the results may not apply to other groups or settings.
