Description

Hsiao-Ying Hung and co-authors turned the first minutes of newborn care into a fifteen-minute virtual reality drill for nursing students, in a 2024 study. Thirteen care tasks were standardized and rebuilt in VR. Experts and students vetted the model for fit, usefulness, and friendliness. Then thirty-five students split between VR and traditional teaching, compared on knowledge, confidence, accuracy, and time.

The VR group matched the traditional group on knowledge, confidence, and accuracy while learning faster, finishing in about ten minutes of task time. Repetition without risk to a real newborn is the draw. The feasibility case for immersive drills in maternity training is made.
