Nursing experience with pneumonia patients based on visual reality simulation: a qualitative study.
Article in BMC nursing, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundClinical experience is crucial for nursing students. However, opportunities for hands-on care, especially in complex conditions such as pneumonia, are limited. Virtual reality (VR) offers a solution simulating real-world patient care scenarios. This study explored nursing students' experiences and perceptions of using virtual reality (VR) in the nursing care of patients with pneumonia. It sought to identify the benefits and challenges of integrating VR into nursing education to enhance clinical competencies in managing pneumonia. Additionally, it provides recommendations for improving nursing education to ensure that future nurses gain sufficient experience in caring for patients with pneumonia.
methodsThis qualitative descriptive study involved 48 nursing students from a Regional university in Korea. Data were collected in December 2023 through reflection journals completed by participants; these journals were analyzed using thematic content analysis.
resultsThe analysis identified 10 subtopics, including four themes: (1) enhancing nursing skills for patients with pneumonia; (2) improving nursing communication skills; (3) creating a learning environment using VR technology; and (4) increasing awareness of nursing capabilities through VR.
conclusionBy using VR, nursing students experienced a series of scenarios involving caring for patients with pneumonia. More diverse VR scenario developments and technical improvements are needed to enhance the competencies of prospective nurses.
