NCT05922163

Brief Summary

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.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Blood transfusion knowledge scale (optimised version of the routine blood transfusion knowledge questionnaire [RBTKQ-O])

    A 34-item scale with score ranging from 0 to 34, higher scores indicate higher levels of blood transfusion knowledge.

    12-week

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Student satisfaction and self-confidence scale [SSSC]

    12-week

  • General self-efficacy scale [GSES]

    12-week

Study Arms (2)

Intervention Group

EXPERIMENTAL

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

Device: Evidence-based VR simulation

Control Group

NO INTERVENTION

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

Interventions

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.
