Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.

Summary

This study tests whether a virtual reality (VR) program can help nursing students learn how to counsel day surgery patients. Sixty nursing students will either receive the VR training or standard education. The goal is to see if the VR approach is feasible and acceptable, not yet to prove it improves skills.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
CINDY Virtual Reality Educational Intervention
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that VR is a feasible way to train nursing students in patient counseling, potentially improving patient education in day surgery settings.
What could go wrong
This is a small pilot feasibility study with only 60 participants, so results may not be generalizable. It measures feasibility, not actual patient outcomes, and technical issues or low engagement could limit success.
