Area Of Science
- Nursing Education
- Psychology
- Human-Computer Interaction
Background
- Emotional competence is crucial for effective nursing practice, encompassing cognitive and behavioral aspects.
- Current nursing education may not adequately address the development of emotional competence.
- Understanding and managing emotions are vital for performance in complex clinical settings.
Purpose Of The Study
- To explore the potential of a Serious Games (SGs) prototype with virtual reality (VR) as a pedagogical strategy.
- To investigate the use of a VR escape room for eliciting emotions in a safe learning environment.
- To assess the feasibility of using SGs with VR for developing emotional competence in nursing students.
Main Methods
- A pilot study was conducted using a VR escape room as a Serious Games (SGs) prototype.
- Participants (n=51) engaged with the VR environment to identify, manage, and process emotions.
- Data were collected through questionnaires and performance observations.
Main Results
- Participants reported experiencing a range of emotions during the VR escape room experience.
- Admiration, pride, satisfaction, and fear were the most frequently reported emotions.
- Hope, shame, and contempt were the least frequently reported emotions.
Conclusions
- Serious Games (SGs) prototypes with virtual reality (VR) show significant potential for emotion elicitation in educational settings.
- The VR escape room provides a safe and controlled environment for developing emotional competence.
- Further research is recommended to validate the educational value of this pedagogical approach in nursing.

Modeling, a key technique in therapy, uses observational learning to help clients acquire and practice new skills by watching therapists demonstrate desired behaviors. This approach, rooted in Albert Bandura's concept of vicarious learning, plays a significant role in therapeutic interventions for various psychological conditions, including social anxiety, ADHD, and depression.
