Brief summary (registry, in English)
This study aims to develop and evaluate a Virtual Reality (VR) Auditory Hallucination Program to enhance psychiatric nurses' comprehensive care competence in managing auditory hallucinations among patients with schizophrenia. Given that 60-80% of patients on the schizophrenia spectrum experience auditory hallucinations, and many continue to do so despite medication, improving nurses' professional skills in this area is critical. The research is conducted in two phases across four psychiatric institutions. Phase one involves the development and validation of the VR program and an OSCE (Objective Structured Clinical Examination), piloted with five participants and evaluated by psychiatric nursing experts. Phase two is a formal interventional study with 200 psychiatric nurses, using block randomization and three data collection time points. Assessment tools include five instruments measuring nurses' confidence, knowledge, attitude, empathy, immersion, and care performance related to auditory hallucinations. The study expects to strengthen nurses' ability to assess and manage auditory hallucinations effectively, and proposes the VR program as a potential tool for nursing in-service education.
