Official title
Effects of Scenario-Based Simulation Teaching Combined With Virtual Technology on Knowledge, Empathy, and Communication and Assessment Skills in Dementia Care Among Nursing Students
Overview
This study aims to evaluate the effects of scenario-based simulation teaching with virtual technology on dementia knowledge, empathy, communication, and assessment skills among nursing students.
Detailed description
This two-group randomised controlled trial aims to evaluate the effects of scenario-based simulation teaching with virtual technology on dementia knowledge, empathy, communication, and assessment skills among nursing students.
The interventional group will receive the 5-week scenario-based simulation teaching with a virtual coach in addition to regular dementia care lectures.
The control group will receive the 5-week traditional dementia case discussions in addition to regular dementia care lectures.
Both groups will be assessed for their dementia knowledge, empathy, communication, and assessment skills at baseline, week 12, and week 18.
Interventions
- Other scenario-based simulation teaching with virtual technology
5-week scenario-based simulation teaching with a virtual coach acting as an older adult with dementia in addition to regular dementia care lectures - Other traditional dementia case discussions
5-week traditional dementia case discussions in addition to regular dementia care lectures
