Abstract
The study was aimed at determining the effect of educational intervention on nursing students’ awareness of virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and metaverse in nursing education, both on their level of virtual presence, and their knowledge of, attitudes towards, and awareness of metaverse. A quasi-experimental study with a single-group pretest–posttest design study was conducted at a university. Ninety-three nursing students participated in the present study. Descriptive statistics, independent t-tests, and Pearson’s correlation analysis were used for data analysis. Of all the participants, 60.2% had heard of metaverse, 50.5% had VR experience, and 62.4% said that metaverse could be used in nursing education in the future. The participating nursing students’ experiences regarding their transition from VR to metaverse revealed that their level of readiness for e-learning and knowledge and awareness of metaverse was high. It was concluded that metaverse could be used in nursing education within the possibilities provided by today’s technology.
