The effect of using desktop VR to practice preoperative handovers with the ISBAR approach: a randomized controlled trial

This study aimed to compare the learning outcomes of nursing students using a desktop virtual reality (VR) application versus the traditional paper-based method. Results showed that practicing with the VR application was non-inferior and gave a superior learning outcome. The VR group repeated the simulation 0.6 times more and 20% more of the students in the VR group reported liking how they practiced. Self-practicing with the ISBAR approach in desktop VR may
be an effective alternative to the traditional paper-based method.
