Brief Summary

This teaching development aims to enhance the clinical reasoning and empathy of nursing students in nursing students in smoking cessation training. The evaluation aims to assess the feasibility and efficacy of virtual reality (VR) video-based learning for enhancing self-efficacy in delivering smoking cessation intervention. The proposed study is 2-arm, waitlist-control, pragmatic randomized controlled trial (RCT) (allocation ratio 1:1), by comparing the self-efficacy and performance of clinical reasoning between nursing students who are provided VR videos of a smoker's real-life scenario and reading materials (intervention group) and those who are only provided the same reading materials (control). Individual randomization will be used. All participants will be given a group assignment and expected to complete the assignment by the end of the tutorial. The group assignment and self-administered pre- and post-learning survey will be used for the teaching outcome evaluation.

  (1) Show empathy to smoking patients; (2) Show care to smoking patients; (3) Being positive; (4) See things from smokers' perspective; (5) Can you show tender feeling for smokers? (0: Not at all, 5: half and half, 10: extremely); (6) Do you feel sorry for smokers who are unable to quit? (0: Not sorry at all, 5: half and half, 10: extremely sorry); (7) Do you feel sorry for smokers who do not want to quit? (0: Not sorry at all, 5: half and half, 10: extremely sorry); and (8) Do you feel annoyed if smokers ignore your cessation advice (0: Not annoyed at all, 5: half and half, 10: extremely annoyed). Each item can be scored from 0 (not at all competent) to 10 (extremely competent).

  Before and after the tutorial (at 1-day)

• Lasater Clinical Judgment Rubric

  (1) Effective noticing: Focused observation; (2) Effective noticing: Recognizing deviations from expected patterns; (3) Effective noticing: Information seeking; (4) Effective interpreting: Prioritizing data; (5) Effective interpreting: Making sense of data; (6) Effective responding: Well-planned intervention/flexibility; (7) Effective responding: Being skilful; (8) Effective reflecting: Evaluation/self-analysis. Each item can be scored from exemplary, accomplished, developing and beginning.

Study Design

• Study Type: interventional
• Phase: not applicable
• Allocation: RANDOMIZED
• Masking: DOUBLE
• Who Masked: INVESTIGATOR, OUTCOMES ASSESSOR
• Masking Details: Individual randomization by serially numbered opaque sealed envelope (SNOSE) will be used to ensure the allocation sequence was concealed from both course teacher and participants before the group allocation. he participants will know the trial group and discussion group allocation by opening an envelop after they submit the consent form. All pre-post questionnaires are anonymous. All participants will be concealed of group allocation before consent, but they will not be blinded of the intervention. Two specialists in smoking cessation who will mark the group assignment will be blinded to group allocation of all participants.
