Overview

Pilot trial compares VR and text training effectiveness in aseptic preparation among pharmacy students, suggesting VR may enhance learning outcomes.

Key Points

  • The central aim is to evaluate and compare the effectiveness of virtual reality versus text-based training in sterile preparation techniques for pharmacy students.
  • Pilot study design with two groups of pharmacy students
  • One group trained using a VR application, the other with text-based materials
  • Assessment of aseptic preparation skills using standardized evaluation criteria
  • VR-trained students completed tasks faster than text-trained students
  • Higher scores in operational smoothness and drug dissolution for VR group
  • Strong correlations found between specific assessment items and overall performance ratings in the VR group
