Official title
Effectiveness of Virtual Humans in Learning Cognitive Function Assessment Among Nursing Students
Overview
Purpose of the Study This study wants to find out whether a virtual human (a computer-based simulated person) can help nursing students learn how to assess someone's thinking and memory skills. Main Question Do nursing students learn cognitive function assessment better when they use a virtual human compared with reading printed materials? What Participants Will Do Participants will learn how to do a cognitive function assessment for about 60 minutes, either by using a virtual human or by reading printed materials.
Interventions
- Other Virtual human
There are five scenarios integrated into Virtual human software. - Other Printed material
The comparison group will read the printed material regarding SPMSQ assessment.
