About this trial
This is an interventional other trial for Blood Transfusion Complication focused on measuring Blood transfusion, Nursing education, Nursing practice, Simulation, Virtual reality
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria: All undergraduate nursing students enrolled in the 'Nursing of Adults' course in a pre-licensure program at a Hong Kong university. Exclusion Criteria: Students who had vision impairment to watch VR videos; Students who had neck pain/ injury to move their head, or open wound to wear the VR headset; Students who experienced nausea and dizziness when watching VR videos; Students who had epileptic symptoms

Arm Description
Receive the usual blood transfusion education (i.e. Zoom lecture) with the developed VR (Virtual Reality) video education.
Receive the usual blood transfusion education (i.e. Zoom lecture) only.
Outcomes
Primary Outcome Measures
Blood transfusion knowledge scale (optimised version of the routine blood transfusion knowledge questionnaire [RBTKQ-O])
A 34-item scale with score ranging from 0 to 34, higher scores indicate higher levels of blood transfusion knowledge.
Secondary Outcome Measures
Student satisfaction and self-confidence scale [SSSC]
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.
General self-efficacy scale [GSES]
A 10-item scale with score ranging from 10 to 40, higher scores indicate higher levels of self-efficacy regarding blood transfusion practice.

5. Study Description
Brief Summary
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.
