Virtual reality in nursing anatomy education: Benefits and implementation considerations

This letter responds to Jallad's (2024) study on immersive virtual reality (VR) applications in nursing anatomy education. While acknowledging the positive outcomes in student satisfaction and self-directed learning, we discuss important considerations regarding implementation modalities, physical comfort, and knowledge retention. Drawing from recent literature, we highlight the need for careful evaluation of delivery methods and suggest incorporating peer-facilitated learning sessions and long-term follow-up assessments. The letter emphasizes the importance of strategic implementation to maximize educational benefits while minimizing potential drawbacks in VR-based anatomy education.
