Video-based virtual reality training to boost nursing students' confidence and motivation for peripheral venous catheterization
The Effect of Video-Based Virtual Reality Education on Self-Confidence and Motivation in Nursing Students: The Case of Peripheral Venous Catheterization
This trial tests whether video-based virtual reality training helps nursing students feel more confident and motivated when learning peripheral venous catheterization compared with traditional face-to-face demonstration.

What this trial studies
This is a randomized, parallel, single-blind interventional study comparing video-based VR training to traditional face-to-face narration and demonstration for peripheral venous catheterization skills. Nursing students are randomly assigned to receive the same instructional content either through VR headsets or via in-person demonstration. Self-confidence and motivation are measured before and after the intervention using validated scales. The study is conducted at Van Yüzüncü Yıl University and aims to inform technology-supported teaching strategies in nursing education.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Nursing students enrolled at the participating university who volunteer to join and have not previously received PVC training.
Not a fit: Students who have already been trained in peripheral venous catheterization or who cannot use VR headsets are unlikely to gain benefit from this intervention.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the VR approach could increase students' confidence and motivation to perform PVCs and improve their readiness for clinical practice.
How similar studies have performed: Previous simulation and VR-based education studies have often shown improvements in confidence and skill acquisition for clinical procedures, though outcomes vary by program and device.
