Brief Summary

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

The purpose of this study is to develop and evaluate AI-based virtual reality teaching resources aimed at enhancing nursing students' competencies in assessing, communicating with, and managing patients experiencing auditory hallucinations. Specifically, this study seeks to improve the ability of nursing students to effectively assess auditory hallucinations, facilitate better communication with patients experiencing such disturbances, and strengthen their skills in managing these symptoms through the implementation of virtual reality-based educational scenarios.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This study employs a quasi-experimental design and uses a convenience sampling method to select senior students from a university nursing program as participants. The study aims to recruit 150 nursing students. The research involves two institutions, with participants being divided into groups within each institution. The students will be randomly assigned by computer into two groups: an experimental group and a control group. The experimental group will receive AR/VR technology-based group training within a virtual clinical environment during their practicum, while the control group will watch educational videos and participate in a general discussion group focused on auditory hallucinations.

Data will be collected using Google Forms at two time points: baseline and post-intervention. The research instruments include:

1. A self-assessment questionnaire on confidence in auditory hallucination assessment and intervention;
2. A scale measuring nursing students' knowledge, attitudes, and perceived empathy toward auditory hallucinations;
3. The Auditory Hallucination Situational Involvement and Empathy Scale;
4. An OSCE (Objective Structured Clinical Examination) evaluation form that assesses auditory hallucination assessment skills, empathy toward auditory hallucinations, communication skills, and the ability to manage auditory hallucinations." Data will be analyzed using IBM SPSS 24.0 for descriptive statistics and for comparing outcomes between the experimental group and the control group.

Study Groups

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

Experimental group

The experimental group will receive AR/VR technology-based group training within a virtual clinical environment during their practicum

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

AR/VR technology-based training

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Students will receive AR/VR Technology and OSCE in a Virtual Clinical Environment to learn how to assess and manage patients with auditory hallucination. The course was designed as a diverse and interactive learning experience, integrating a virtual clinical environment for auditory hallucinations with the application of Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE). The practicum lasts approximately 15 days, with 8 hours per day. The teaching activities of the course will be held 5 times on days 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12 of the practicum. Additionally, students will have access to the AR/VR materials for self-practice during the practicum.

Control group

The control group will watch educational videos and participate in a general discussion group focused on auditory hallucinations.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

traditional vedio and discussion group

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Students will receive a traditional course on auditory hallucination assessment, which includes watching educational videos and participating in a general discussion group on auditory hallucinations. The practicum lasts approximately 15 days, with 8 hours per day. The teaching activities of the traditional course will be held 5 times on days 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12 of the practicum.
