The Effect of an Artificial Intelligence-Supported Virtual Reality Simulation on Nursing Students' Holistic Care Skills
Sponsor: Gazi University
Summary
This study aims to evaluate the effect of artificial intelligence (AI)-supported virtual reality (VR) simulation on nursing students' holistic care skills. The study is a randomised controlled trial involving fourth-year nursing students, divided into an experimental and a control group. Whilst the experimental group will receive AI-supported VR simulation training, the control group will receive traditional case-based training. Outcomes to be assessed include decision-making, symptom identification, nursing diagnosis, simulation design and satisfaction with the training methods.

Interventions
AI-VRS
This intervention consists of an AI-supported virtual reality (VR) simulation designed to improve nursing students' holistic care skills. Participants interact with a virtual patient to perform patient history-taking, identify symptoms, and formulate nursing diagnoses across the dimensions of holistic care (physical, psychological, social, and spiritual). The simulation is delivered using Meta Quest 3 VR headsets and incorporates artificial intelligence to provide dynamic, responsive patient interactions. The intervention includes structured simulation scenarios with high-fidelity graphics and interactive decision-making processes to support skill acquisition.
Control
This intervention consists of traditional case-based training delivered through presentations and question-and-answer discussions. Participants will analyse case scenarios and receive feedback from instructors. This approach provides a practical learning experience without using VR technology.
