SummaryThis study confirmed the educational effectiveness of practical exercises (PE) using intravenous (IV) simulators incorporating virtual reality (VR)/haptics (based on the sense of touch) device technologies. First-year nursing students (n = 114) were randomly divided into three PE groups: Group A, utilizing a conventional arm model (IV arm); Group B, utilizing a VR/Haptics IV Simulator (IV sim); and Group C, utilizing both the IV arm and IV sim. Group C scored highest on procedures for conducting venipuncture. Group B was more successful in performing injections than Groups A and C. Group C required significantly less time than Group B to complete a venipuncture injection and was faster than Group A, although this difference was not significant. In conclusion, a new paradigm of PE is suggested using both IV sim and IV arm.
Research Highlights
► Verification of the educational effectiveness used by the IV Simulator.
► Combining IV Simulator and IV arm achieved the highest score of success in cannulations.
► IV Simulator showed higher rate of success in the venipuncture than IV arm.
► Suggests a new paradigm for venipuncture methods combining two education methods.
