Efficacy of Virtual Reality (VR) Video-based Learning for Enhancing Nursing Students' Self-efficacy in Delivering Smoking Cessation Intervention: A Randomized Controlled Trial
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.
