VR goggles teach injections: study tests High-Tech training for nurses
NCT ID NCT07012187
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether using virtual reality (VR) goggles can improve how well nursing students learn to give subcutaneous injections. 70 first-year nursing students were split into two groups: one used VR to watch a training video, and the other got standard teaching. Researchers measured their knowledge and practical skills before and after training to see if VR made a difference.
