Brief Summary

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

Project: "Development of virtual reality for nursing students: ECT"

For this project the researchers will adapte 'health belief model' as a core concept for developing knowledge, attitude and skills of nursing students to take care of psychiatric patients with ECT. For their practice, the participants will be taught to take care of patients with ECT into 3 phases: before, during, and after ECT.

The researchers believe that this VR technology will help Thai-nursing students better understand and know how to take care of patients with ECT.

This project will consist of two phase. phase I: developing VR- ECT technology for nursing students. we will pilot test VR-ECT in Nursing students by randomizing nursing students volunteers into two groups: an experimental group and waitlist control group (N = 140). Knowledge, attitude and satisfaction and self-confidence will be measured at baseline (day 1), week 8 after intervention complete

Detailed Description

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

Population: Thai nursing students who are between 18-24 years old who are studying in bachalor of Nursing, Thailand.

Sample:

Inclusion criteria: the researchers will include bachelor nursing students who 1) are between 18-24 year of age; 2) are proficient in Thai; 3) are never study in ECT class; and 4) volunteer.

Exclusion criteria: the researchers will exclude nursing students if they have 1) current presence of physical or mental condition such as learning disorders, and psychiatric disorders, all of which make full participation in all aspects of this study questionable; 2) already studies and had experienced with ECT nursing care.

Phase I: To develop the ECT virtual reality for nursing students

* 20 nursing students for VR-testing

Phase II: To evaluate the effects of VR-ECT for nursing students on knowledge, attitude, satisfaction and self-confidence among Thai-nursing students.

* Quantitative sample: 140 nursing students randomized to two groups to test the effectiveness and efficacy of the VR-ECT.
* Qualitative sample: 20 nursing students for in-depth interview and focus group to get the nursing students' experience and perception of VR-ECT.
