Summary

Researchers are testing whether immersive virtual reality helps nurses learn to insert and remove nasogastric tubes. Nurses at a Turkish university hospital practice the procedure either in a VR simulation or on a standard training simulator. The study compares their procedural skill, safety, knowledge, confidence, anxiety, and motivation.

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 it works, hospitals could use virtual reality to give nurses more hands-on practice without needing real patients or extra simulator time.
What could go wrong
This is a small study at one hospital, so results may not apply elsewhere. Virtual reality practice might not translate into better performance with real patients.
