Summary
This study tests whether a gamified metaverse-based training program helps nursing students learn more effectively about preventing and managing pressure ulcers (bedsores). Sixty second-year nursing students will be randomly assigned to either standard classroom teaching or standard teaching plus two weeks of metaverse training. Researchers will measure changes in knowledge, self-efficacy, and perceptions of the metaverse immediately after training and one month later.

Active substance
Gamified metaverse-based educational application
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that virtual reality training helps nursing students learn better about preventing bedsores.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 60 students. It measures knowledge and confidence, not actual patient outcomes, so real-world benefits are uncertain.
