Abstract
Virtual reality simulation (VRS) has emerged as an educational methodology in nursing professional development. A cluster randomized controlled trial was conducted with a sample of clinical registered nurses to compare effectiveness of VRS and traditional education on knowledge and behavior related to Clostridioides difficile prevention. No significant differences were found in the effectiveness of the two modalities, suggesting the usefulness of VRS as a teaching methodology.
