• Situation awareness and communication skills

  Use the "Virtual non-technical skills (v-NOTECHS)" scale (Sevidalis et al., 2008) to measure the situation awareness

  1) Before the intervention and waitlist control as baseline assessment; 2) immediately after the intervention or control measures as follow up assessment

• Student's self-confidence in learning

  Use the "Student satisfaction and self-confidence in Learning" inventory (National League for Nursing, 2005) to mesure the self-confidence in learning

  1) Before the intervention and waitlist control as baseline assessment; 2)immediately after the intervention or control measures as follow up assessment

• Participants' sense of presence in this virtual clinical environment

  Use the Presence Questionnaire to measure the sense of presence

  Immediately after the intervention or control measures
