VR training may boost nursing Students' confidence in IV insertion
NCT ID NCT07047157
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether using video-based virtual reality (VR) training helps nursing students feel more confident and motivated when learning how to insert an IV. About 60 nursing students will be split into two groups: one learns with VR headsets, the other with traditional in-person teaching. Researchers will measure changes in confidence and motivation using standard surveys.
