The review reports this nonrandomized quasi-experimental study of 88 prelicensure nursing students, where all three groups' anxiety decreased but "the VR group did not show significant improvement compared to the simulation and control groups".

"However, the VR group did not show significant improvement compared to the simulation and control groups, with the highest difference observed in the simulation one."
