Abstract

ObjectiveThis study aimed to enhance understanding, engagement, and learning efficiency in the course "The Care of Common Diseases of Older Adults" using a developed Immersive Virtual Reality(IVR) system. MethodsA mixed-methods study with 32 students was conducted. The quantitative part involved a randomized controlled trial, and the qualitative part included thematic interviews with students and teachers. ResultsThe intervention group using the IVR system showed significant improvements in positivity and performance evaluation scores (P < 0.05) compared to the control group. Negative affect scores also decreased significantly (P < 0.05). Qualitative data from interviews supported the quantitative findings, highlighting increased curiosity, learning enthusiasm, and academic performance. ConclusionIVR significantly enhances learning by stimulating curiosity and active participation, making education more accessible and improving student performance. Future IVR enhancements should focus on user-friendliness and empathetic feedback in adult care.
