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

June 18, 2023 updated by: The University of Hong Kong

Blood Transfusion Education Using Blended Virtual Reality and Simulation for Nursing Undergraduate Students: a Randomized Controlled Trial

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.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Intervention Group
Receive the usual blood transfusion education (i.e. Zoom lecture) with the developed VR (Virtual Reality) video education.
Device: Evidence-based VR simulation
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.
No Intervention: Control Group
Receive the usual blood transfusion education (i.e. Zoom lecture) only.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
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.
12-week

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
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.
12-week
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.
12-week
