Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This teaching development aims to enhance the clinical reasoning and empathy of nursing students in nursing students in smoking cessation training. The evaluation aims to assess the feasibility and efficacy of virtual reality (VR) video-based learning for enhancing self-efficacy in delivering smoking cessation intervention. The proposed study is 2-arm, waitlist-control, pragmatic randomized controlled trial (RCT) (allocation ratio 1:1), by comparing the self-efficacy and performance of clinical reasoning between nursing students who are provided VR videos of a smoker's real-life scenario and reading materials (intervention group) and those who are only provided the same reading materials (control). Individual randomization will be used. All participants will be given a group assignment and expected to complete the assignment by the end of the tutorial. The group assignment and self-administered pre- and post-learning survey will be used for the teaching outcome evaluation.

Investigators Outcome Assessors
Individual randomization by serially numbered opaque sealed envelope (SNOSE) will be used to ensure the allocation sequence was concealed from both course teacher and participants before the group allocation. he participants will know the trial group and discussion group allocation by opening an envelop after they submit the consent form. All pre-post questionnaires are anonymous. All participants will be concealed of group allocation before consent, but they will not be blinded of the intervention. Two specialists in smoking cessation who will mark the group assignment will be blinded to group allocation of all participants.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Intervention group

Provided with a tutorial guide, and VR-based teaching materials in the tutorial session

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

VR materials

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

In the lecture room for the intervention group, participants in the intervention group will be given QR codes for viewing these online videos and VR cardboards, a web including photo hunt sections that allow viewers to find cues for smoking cessation treatment. They are asked to view these videos and photos with their own mobile phones.
