Blood Transfusion Education Using Blended Virtual Reality and Simulation for Nursing Undergraduate Students

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.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • All undergraduate nursing students enrolled in the 'Nursing of Adults' course in a pre-licensure program at a Hong Kong university.

Exclusion criteria

  • Students who had vision impairment to watch VR videos;
  • Students who had neck pain/ injury to move their head, or open wound to wear the VR headset;
  • Students who experienced nausea and dizziness when watching VR videos;
  • Students who had epileptic symptoms

Treatment and study plan

Evidence-based VR simulation

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.

Primary outcomes

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

    Time frame: 12-week

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

Secondary outcomes

  1. Student satisfaction and self-confidence scale [SSSC]

    Time frame: 12-week

    A 13-item scale with score ranging from 13 to 65, higher scores in both subscales refer to higher satisfaction levels with the intervention and self-confidence in conducting blood transfusion practice, respectively.

  2. General self-efficacy scale [GSES]

    Time frame: 12-week

    A 10-item scale with score ranging from 10 to 40, higher scores indicate higher levels of self-efficacy regarding blood transfusion practice.
