Gamified metaverse education for learning a hip injection
This study tests if a fun, game-like virtual reality (metaverse) lesson helps nursing students learn how to give a ventrogluteal IM injection (a shot in a specific hip muscle). It's for first-year students who have never learned this injection before.

This trial tests a teaching method called microteaching to help nursing students learn how to give injections in the ventrogluteal site (a safe shot location in the hip). It's for students who are repeating a nursing course and don't have internet at home.
This trial tests if an artificial intelligence chatbot can help first-year nursing students learn how to give intramuscular and subcutaneous injections. Students who take part will use the chatbot on their own device over 4 weeks and take some tests to see how much they learn.
This study tests a new simulation training for nursing students learning how to give injections and IV medications. It compares learning outcomes for students who use the simulation versus those who don't. If you are a first-time nursing student who has never practiced these skills before, you might be able to join.
This study tests whether a fun, game-like training program in a virtual world (metaverse) helps nursing students learn about patient safety better than traditional methods. If you are a second-year nursing student who speaks Turkish, you may be able to join.
This trial tests if a gamified, virtual reality (metaverse) training program can improve nursing students' confidence (self-efficacy) and understanding of virtual worlds, specifically for managing pressure injuries (bedsores). It is designed for second-year nursing students who speak Turkish.
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.
