About this trial
This study investigates the effectiveness of immersive virtual reality (VR) training in stoma care on nurses' knowledge, skills, self-efficacy, and learning satisfaction.
Using a mixed-method design with convenience sampling, 100 clinical nurses will be recruited and randomly assigned (1:1) to experimental and control groups. The experimental group will receive two VR training sessions one month apart, while the control group will attend a single traditional classroom session. Both groups will follow stoma care replacement procedures established by National Taiwan University Hospital.
Data collection will include demographic information, knowledge/skill tests, and self-efficacy questionnaires administered at three time points: before training, immediately after training, and one month post-training. Learning satisfaction will be assessed immediately after training. Participants reporting adverse VR reactions or scoring below 4 on satisfaction will be invited to one-on-one semi-structured interviews.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
1
Knowledge and Skills Test of Stoma Care
The test covers four domains: normal stoma characteristics, standard procedures for ostomy care, principles of managing ostomy leakage, and key points of ostomy care education. It consists of five single-choice questions, with a total score ranging from 0 to 100. Higher scores indicate better knowledge and skills in stoma care.
Time frame
Assessments will be conducted at three time points: (1) before training (baseline), (2) immediately after training (post-test I), and (3) one month after training (post-test II).Secondary outcomes
1
Self-Efficacy Scale of Stoma Care
The scale includes 5 items designed to assess nurses' confidence in performing ostomy care tasks. Each item is rated on a 0-10 scale, with higher scores indicating greater self-efficacy. Content validity was established by five nursing experts, yielding a CVI of 0.87.
Time frame
Assessments will be conducted at three time points: (1) before training (baseline), (2) immediately after training (post-test I), and (3) one month after training (post-test II).Other outcomes
1
standardized institutional training satisfaction questionnaire
A standardized institutional training satisfaction questionnaire consisting of 5 items will be administered to evaluate participants' learning satisfaction. Each item will be scored on a 0-10 scale, with higher scores reflecting greater satisfaction.
Time frame
There is a time frame: (1) after training immediately.Sponsors and contacts
