A Comparative Study of Traditional Instruction & Virtual Reality Simulation on Intravenous Cannulation Training among Nursing Students in Nagpur

Abstract

Virtual Reality Simulation (VRS) is an educational tool that allows learners to engage in realistic patient scenarios without exposing actual patients to the risks associated with training. This method is versatile and can be applied to a wide range of clinical topics. The study was conducted is ‘’A Comparative Study of Traditional Instruction & Virtual Reality Simulation on Intravenous Cannulation Training among Nursing Students in Nagpur. The Objective of study were 1. To assess the knowledge and practice of the student nurses on Intravenous cannulation by Traditional Training Instruction and Virtual Reality Simulation.2. To assess the effectiveness of the Intravenous cannulation by Traditional Training Instruction 3. To assess the effectiveness of the Intravenous cannulation by Virtual Reality Simulation 4. To find out Association between Traditional Training Instruction Vs Virtual Reality Simulation among the students. Non experimental Comparative Research Design, It is conducted over 60 nursing students. (Group – I 30: - will be taught by traditional instruction, Group -II 30 will be taught by virtual reality simulation) by using non-probability convenience sampling technique. Assessment is done by using Structured Knowledge questionnaire on demographic variables and on Knowledge regarding intravenous cannulation. And Checklist for assessing the practice regarding Intravenous cannulation. The finding reveals that 70% of nursing students in traditional technique had poor level of knowledge and practice, 30% in traditional technique and 10% in IV cannula technique had average level of knowledge score and 90% of nursing students in cannula technique had good level of knowledge score. There is no significance association between demographic variables.
