Effectiveness of Immersive Virtual Reality in Nursing Students' Learning
Sponsor: Universitat Jaume I
Summary
Teaching using VR for basic cardiopulmonary resuscitation and patient examination (experimental group) will not result in differences in knowledge and skill acquisition compared to traditional classroom-based simulation teaching (control group), but it will lead to greater satisfaction and self-confidence. Open, single-center randomized clinical trial involving fourth-year nursing degree students at a public university. Participants will be assigned based on their usual teaching groups (ratio of 6-8 students per instructor) and, according to randomization, will receive a 1:1 assignment to either the control group (classroom-based simulation teaching) or the experimental group (classroom-based simulation teaching combined with VR headset teaching). The CONSORT checklist will be followed to report the study.

Experience with virtual reality glasses
If the group belongs to GE (teaching with in-person simulation in the classroom and teaching with VR headsets), they will also receive the two training sessions described for GC: 30 minutes of individual training through VR (headsets and controllers to perform actions while receiving immediate feedback through VR) before the in-person simulation.
