Official title
The Effectiveness of Case-Based Educational Scenarios in the Metaverse Environment on Enhancing Interpersonal Communication Skills, Path of Academic Engagement, and Reducing Mind-Wandering in University Nursing Students
Overview
This randomized controlled trial will evaluate the effect of case-based educational scenarios delivered in a metaverse environment on interpersonal communication skills, academic engagement, and mind-wandering among undergraduate nursing students. Fourth-level nursing students will be randomly assigned either to metaverse-based case scenarios integrated into their psychiatric nursing education or to usual teaching without metaverse exposure. Outcomes will be measured using validated scales for interpersonal communication, learning engagement, and mind-wandering before and after the intervention.
Interventions
- Behavioral Metaverse Case-Based Educational Scenarios
The intervention consists of structured case-based scenarios delivered via an immersive metaverse platform, where students interact in real time with virtual patients and peers. Sessions will be designed to promote interpersonal communication, empathy, and academic engagement and to reduce mind-wandering during psychiatric nursing education activities. (You may later specify number of sessions, duration per session, and total intervention period when finalized.)
Primary outcome measures
- Interpersonal Communication Skills Score [Time frame: Baseline (pre-intervention) and immediately post-intervention (end of teaching period)]
