Summary: This study evaluated the cost-effectiveness and utility of posttransplant hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) surveillance compared to standard follow-up. Although surveillance slightly improves survival and quality of life, it also increases costs and does not appear to be cost-effective in this setting.

Summary: This study developed a mobile head mounted display (HMD)-based virtual reality (VR) nursing education program (VRP) and evaluated its effects on knowledge, learning attitude, satisfaction with self-practice, and learning motivation in nursing students. The results showed that HMD-based VRP significantly improved nursing students' post-intervention knowledge, learning attitude, satisfaction, attention, and relevance compared to traditional teaching methods.

Summary: In this study, a virtual simulation curriculum for nursing education was developed and evaluated, based on analysis of literature and interviews with experts. The curriculum includes three content domains: enhancing clinical decision-making, experiencing low-exposed situations, and building professional resilience. By creating simulated scenarios, nurse educators can provide better learning opportunities for students.

Summary: This study compared the satisfaction and effectiveness of virtual simulation with usual supervised work in teaching student midwives. The results showed higher satisfaction with virtual simulation, but no difference in knowledge between the two groups. Therefore, virtual simulation teaching strategies can increase students' motivation to learn without compromising knowledge acquisition.

Summary: This study aims to assess the transformative potential of Virtual Reality (VR) in nursing education. The results showed that, compared to traditional or alternative teaching methods, virtual reality technology has significant advantages in improving nursing students' theoretical knowledge, practical skills, skill retention, and satisfaction levels, while not yielding a significant advantage in enhancing critical thinking skills.
