Virtual reality hand hygiene training for nurses
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a virtual reality simulation can improve hand hygiene training for nurses. It compares VR training to standard methods to see which is more effective.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a nurse who works in areas like inpatient services or intervention units, not in the operating room.
- You have not received any extra hand hygiene training after your initial orientation at the start of your job.
- You do not have epilepsy, a history of seizures, or any eye or neurological problem that would make VR glasses unsafe or uncomfortable.
- You do not have motion sickness that would prevent using VR glasses.

This trial asks ICU doctors and nurses about their thoughts and experiences with virtual reality training. It helps researchers understand how to improve training for ICU staff.
This study tests whether nursing students can learn how to use an implanted port catheter (a medical device for long-term IV access) better with a virtual reality training simulation. It looks for students who have already finished their Internal Medicine Nursing course.
This trial tests if virtual reality (VR) can help nurses learn how to care for a stoma (an opening in the belly for waste). You may join if you're a nurse or nursing student who hasn't done VR stoma training before and can handle wearing a VR headset.
This study tests a new virtual reality (VR) program with touch feedback (called haptics) to help nursing students learn basic skills. If you are starting your first nursing course with no prior simulation experience, this may be a way to practice in a realistic, hands-on way.
This study teaches preschoolers proper handwashing using virtual reality (a computer-based immersive experience). Researchers want to see if this method helps children learn better and feel more confident about washing their hands.
