Aging Suit Study for Nursing Students
This study tests whether wearing a special suit that simulates aging—making movements harder and vision blurry—helps nursing students understand and care better for older adults. You'll wear the suit during your geriatric nursing course and answer questions about your attitudes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a third-year nursing student
- You are enrolled in the HMSR 312 Geriatric Nursing course this semester
- You are willing to volunteer and participate in the study
- You do not have physical conditions that prevent wearing an aging simulation suit
- You do not have serious bone, nerve, or balance problems that would be unsafe with the suit

This study tests whether watching animated educational videos helps people aged 65 and older learn about frailty (becoming weaker with age) and reduce their health risks. You would watch these videos on a tablet or smartphone and answer some questions about what you learned.
This study follows adults as they age to learn how health and brain function change over time. You may help researchers understand early aging differences, using health checks and scans, and by sharing genetic samples.
This study looks at what health care support older adults need and how nursing help may improve healthy habits and quality of life. You may be invited if you’re 65 or older and able to communicate for the study.
This study tests if experiencing what it is like to be elderly through a simulation activity can help care workers better understand aging, improve their attitudes, empathy, and communication skills, and increase satisfaction with learning.
This study tests whether a training program about caring for older adults changes nursing students' attitudes about aging (ageism). If you are a nursing student who hasn't yet taken any elderly care courses, you may be eligible to join.
This trial tests whether a virtual game simulation can help nursing students learn about patient safety. If you are a nursing student who has completed the Fundamentals of Nursing course and are willing to participate, this study may be for you.
