Study Overview
Brief Summary
Teaching using VR for basic cardiopulmonary resuscitation and patient examination (experimental group) will not result in differences in knowledge and skill acquisition compared to traditional classroom-based simulation teaching (control group), but it will lead to greater satisfaction and self-confidence. Open, single-center randomized clinical trial involving fourth-year nursing degree students at a public university. Participants will be assigned based on their usual teaching groups (ratio of 6-8 students per instructor) and, according to randomization, will receive a 1:1 assignment to either the control group (classroom-based simulation teaching) or the experimental group (classroom-based simulation teaching combined with VR headset teaching). The CONSORT checklist will be followed to report the study.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Compare the satisfaction
Time Frame: Five months
To compare the satisfaction acquired by students when performing basic cardiopulmonary resuscitation and patient examination between both teaching groups (experimental group - EG: VR plus in-person simulation, control group - CG: in-person simulation). We will mesure this with Satisfaction and Self-Confidence in Learning Scale (SCLS-Sp) (Farrés-Tarafa et al., 2021) .
Compare the self-confidence
Time Frame: Five months
To compare the self-confidence acquired by students when performing basic cardiopulmonary resuscitation and patient examination between both teaching groups (experimental group - EG: VR plus in-person simulation, control group - CG: in-person simulation). We will mesure this with Satisfaction and Self-Confidence in Learning Scale (SCLS-Sp) (Farrés-Tarafa et al., 2021) .
Secondary Outcomes
- To compare the acquisition of knowledge in each teaching group.(Five months)
- To compare the acquisition of skills in each teaching group.(Five months)
- To evaluate students' tolerance to VR headset technology.(Five months)
- To assess the usability of VR headsets by students.(Five months)
- To analyze the costs of traditional teaching with in-person simulation compared to teaching with VR.(Five months)
