Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of virtual reality usage on oral care knowledge in nursing students. The participants were randomly assigned to virtual-reality experimental and control groups. The students in experimental group received a 30 minutes virtual reality (VR) training for elderly oral health care at the second week and the fourth week after the first time survey. All students self-administrated questionnaire three times at first date of consent form signed, immediately after each of the intervention for period of two weeks. Linear regression in generalized estimating equations (GEE) compare the differences between both groups.

Description:

A total of 50 first-year to third-year undergraduate nursing students were included from the Department of Nursing, Kaohsiung Medical University, Taiwan. The students were randomly assigned divided at random into two groups, control (n = 25) and experimental (n = 25).

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Knowledge of geriatric oral hygiene scale	There were 10 items to evaluate the participants' knowledge of the geriatric oral hygiene scale Each item had three response options: true, false, and unknown. The total score ranged from 0 to 10 and a higher score indicated a higher level of knowledge of geriatric oral hygiene.	through study completion, an average of 4 weeks
Primary	Attitudes of geriatric oral hygiene scale	The attitudes of geriatric oral hygiene scale included seven items. Each item was scored on a five-point Likert-type scale ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree). The total score ranged from 5 to 35 and a higher score indicated a positive attitude toward geriatric oral hygiene.	through study completion, an average of 4 weeks
Primary	Self-efficacy of geriatric oral hygiene scale	The self-efficacy of geriatric oral hygiene scale included ten items. Each item was scored on a five-point Likert-type scale ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree) and the higher score was for a higher level of self-efficacy of geriatric oral hygiene, vise versa. The total score ranged from 5 to 50.	through study completion, an average of 4 weeks
Primary	Behavioral intention of geriatric oral hygiene scale	The behavioral intention scale of the geriatric oral hygiene included ten items. Each item was scored on a five-point Likert-type scale ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree), with a higher score indicated a higher level of the behavioral intention of geriatric oral hygiene.
