Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Nurse-administered blood transfusion (BT) is a common form of medical treatment, but nursing students are often excluded from participating in and observing BTs during clinical placements. To address clinical placement limitations, nursing educators have increasingly adopted technology-guided simulation pedagogies, including virtual reality (VR) simulation, for nursing students' clinical skills education.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Intervention Group

Receive the usual blood transfusion education (i.e. Zoom lecture) with the developed VR (Virtual Reality) video education.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Evidence-based VR simulation

Intervention Type DEVICE

Evidence-based VR simulation videos on BTs for nursing students were developed, including 1) animated blood formation physiology and side effects of BT and 2) 360° BT nursing practice.

Control Group

Receive the usual blood transfusion education (i.e. Zoom lecture) only.
