Brief Summary

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

A pilot randomised controlled trial to assess the nursing students' learning outcomes of the urinary catheterisation procedure by comparing the immersive virtual reality (IVR) to traditional lab sessions.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Design: A pilot randomised controlled trial was employed to assess the learning outcomes of the urinary catheterisation procedure by comparing the immersive virtual reality (IVR) intervention to traditional lab sessions.

Eligibility: Second-year undergraduate nursing students (n = 200) enrolled into the module NUR2125 (Pathophysiology, Pharmacology and Nursing Practice II) were invited to participate in the study.

Setting: The study was conducted at a university in Singapore from January to April 2023.

Procedure: Ten lab groups of second-year undergraduate nursing students were invited to participate in the study. They received the standard blended learning activities, which included clinical lab sessions and videos on the urinary catheterisation procedure. Out of the ten groups, four groups were randomly allocated to the IVR intervention group, and another four groups were randomly assigned to the waitlist control group (traditional lab sessions).

1. For the intervention group (IVR), the students used the IVR device for practice in class under the supervision of their tutor. They then loaned the IVR device for two weeks for home practice.
2. For the waitlist control group (traditional lab sessions), they learned and practiced the urinary catheterisation procedure in class. Students received the additional intervention (using the IVR device for home practice) after the collection of post-test data.

Data collection: Prior to lab practice, each participant completed a demographic survey and a set of pre-test questionnaires on personality inventory, cognitive load, and representation of VR in education. Only students who voluntarily joined the programme were recruited into the study.

The participants completed the post-test questionnaires in March 2023 prior to their formative clinical assessment.
