Can virtual reality train nurses better than traditional methods?
NCT ID NCT07771062
First seen Aug 18, 2026 · Last updated Aug 19, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial aims to see if virtual reality (VR) or moulage (realistic simulated wounds) training helps nurses learn diabetic foot wound care better than routine practice. It will compare the effects of these different training methods on nurses' knowledge, practical skills, attitudes, and satisfaction. The study involves nurses with a bachelor's degree who volunteer to participate.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Training on diabetic foot wound care delivered via virtual reality (VR) simulation, moulage simulation, or conventional methods
- What this could lead to
- If VR or moulage training proves more effective, it could point toward better, more engaging ways to teach nurses wound care, potentially improving patient outcomes.
- What could go wrong
- This is a relatively small educational trial, and results may not translate to real-world patient care. VR may cause discomfort or be less accessible in some settings.
