Summary

This study compares immersive virtual reality (VR) training with traditional part-task trainer simulation for teaching phlebotomy (blood draw) to nursing students. About 60 second-year students with no prior venipuncture experience are randomly assigned to either VR or standard training. Researchers measure self-efficacy, anxiety, and clinical performance before, right after, and at a follow-up session to see which method works better.

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 Training
What this could lead to
If effective, VR could become a standard tool for teaching clinical skills, making training more engaging and accessible.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with 60 students at one university. Results may not apply to other settings or skills.

Show the full entry requirements

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: Second-year nursing students who enrolled in the Adult Health Nursing I course, had no prior clinical experience in venipuncture, and were willing to participate in the study. Additional inclusion criteria included the ability to attend training sessions using both immersive virtual reality (VR) and a part-task trainer simulation and commitment to completing all training and assessment sessions. Written informed consent was obtained from all participants before enrollment. Exclusion Criteria: if they had previous advanced or extensive practical experience in venipuncture or had participated in external training programs related to the same skill. Additional exclusion criteria included the presence of physical or psychological conditions that could interfere with participation or performance during training, failure to attend scheduled training sessions, incomplete participation in the study procedures, or withdrawal of consent.
