Brief Summary:
This quasi-experimental study focuses on Indonesian nursing students and aims to examine the effectiveness of virtual reality VR dementia educational programs The study addresses the following research questions
1 What is the current state of knowledge and awareness about dementia among participants before engaging in a VR dementia education program
2 What is the effect of a VR dementia education program on improving participants attitude knowledge and intention to help toward people living with dementia and how are participants satisfied with the VR dementia education program Participants will voluntarily join a 120-minute class education program with each participant attending only once The program integrated into the facultys dementia-related courses will be structured around a series of components including introduction pre-program questionnaire lecture bad drama unfriendly communication bad version of VR discussion Lecture about dementia good VR good drama Lecture N-impro post-program questionnaire and conclusion
The VR education program will be included in dementia-related courses in the faculty of nursing

Detailed Description:
This quasi-experimental study aims to evaluate a virtual reality VR dementia education program among nursing students in Indonesia The participants will be nursing students who are enrolled in specific semesters and courses designated for the implementation of this educational program At Universitas Airlangga the study will be conducted with students in the fifth semester third year All prospective participants will be assigned new ID numbers to ensure the confidentiality of their student ID numbers This protocol has been reviewed and approved by the Faculty of Nursings Ethics Committee at Universitas Airlangga
The VR dementia education program will be integrated into the Psychiatric Nursing class which covers themes related to dementia care Participants will be recruited during the Psychiatric Nursing course through class announcements An overview of the research process will be provided and detailed instructions regarding the study will be given shortly before it begins The research team will announce the study approximately one week in advance and recruitment will occur via Google Forms Selected participants will receive their new ID numbers and details about the programs schedule and location through a class announcement three days before the intervention
On the day of the intervention participants will attend the designated location and sign an attendance sheet using their new IDs The Principal Investigator PI will explain the studys stages and emphasize that participants can withdraw at any time without any consequences Participation in the study will be entirely voluntary and there will be no coercion Students who opt out of the study will still receive standard dementia-related material through the universitys e-learning platform Still they will not participate in the game-based education program Students who agree to participate in the study will provide informed consent Those in the program will complete a questionnaire before and after the intervention
Regarding recruitment eligible participants will be identified through the universitys e-learning portal Students registered in the selected courses for the 20242025 academic year will be noted at the beginning of the semester All eligible students will receive comprehensive information about the study and an invitation to participate
The research team will explain the program in person and provide written explanations at the start of the Psychiatric Nursing course The 20242025 Psychiatric Nursing course consists of four classes each with 50-60 students One class will be randomly selected to participate in this pilot study as the intervention group The remaining three classes will serve as the control group receiving standard course material through the e-learning platform Both the intervention and control groups will complete pre- and post-intervention questionnaires Data will be collected again from both groups at the end of the Psychiatric Nursing course expected in January 2025 to measure the long-term effects
The intervention group will receive the VR dementia education program while the control group will attend a standard lecture Both interventions will be conducted once The control group will receive a single lecture via the e-learning platform Students who provide informed consent will be asked to complete the baseline survey T1 In the intervention group students will attend a classroom lecture and discussion on dementia 1st class and then complete a post-lecture survey T2 Later they will be asked to complete another post-lecture survey T3 at the end of the semester The control group will follow the same timeline for completing the surveys T1-T3
