| Mateverse will enhance students' knowledge and skills related to vital signs. | two week | This study was conducted using a post-test control group experimental design. The intervention group consisted of students who utilized the metaverse environment for knowledge and skills development. Once the study commenced, all students in the intervention group entered the designated virtual rooms using their chosen avatars and were able to access the prepared content at any time over a one-week period, without time restrictions and via any internet-enabled device. The vital signs training for the control group was delivered face-to-face in a classroom setting by the course instructor. Students in both groups learned information and skills related to vital signs using different methods within the same academic week. The data collection tools used included the Personal Information Form, the Vital Signs Knowledge Test to assess knowledge acquisition, and the Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) to assess skill acquisition. |
