While research has examined a variety of contributing factors, there is a significant lack of studies specifically on nurses, whose demanding clinical schedules and work environments may significantly influence their childbearing intentions.

Skull base fractures are relatively common in cases involving traumatic brain injuries (TBI). Most skull base fractures are treated conservatively through absolute bed rest, which entails numerous challenges for nursing care. The use of a combination of virtual reality (VR) technology with 3D printing technology can offer a vivid and three-dimensional presentation of the location and type of skull base fractures alongside their relationships with important surrounding structures. This approach can increase patients' knowledge of skull base fractures and help patients better understand their treatment plans, thereby improving their treatment compliance, reducing complications, and alleviating the workload faced by nurses.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Methods: &lt;/strong&gt;Patients with skull base fractures were randomly divided into a traditional nursing group and a combined VR and 3D printing nursing group.
