Brief Summary

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

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.

Study Groups

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

Metaverse Case-Based Scenario Group

Participants in this arm will receive case-based educational scenarios delivered through a metaverse environment as part of their psychiatric nursing coursework. Students will engage in interactive virtual simulations with virtual patients and healthcare teams to practice interpersonal communication in complex, emotionally charged psychiatric scenarios.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Metaverse Case-Based Educational Scenarios

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

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.)

Control

Participants in this arm will receive the usual psychiatric nursing teaching methods without exposure to metaverse-based case scenarios. They will continue to follow the standard curriculum delivered through conventional classroom or existing e-learning formats.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group
