Purpose:
This study aimed to explore school nurses' experiences and perceptions of metaverse-based simulation training (MBST) for infectious disease, focusing on its educational value and applicability in real school settings.
Methods:
A qualitative study was conducted using focus group interviews with ten school nurses in Yangsan, Republic of Korea, between December 2024 and January 2025. Data were analyzed using an inductive approach informed by grounded theory, including open coding and constant comparison.
Results:
Four themes and ten categories emerged, including positive experiences of immersion and self-directed learning, negative experiences related to deviation from educational purpose, and factors influencing field application. Participants found MBST engaging and helpful for enhancing understanding, despite challenges such as technical issues, digital literacy gaps, and accessibility concerns.
Conclusions:
MBST shows strong potential to improve infectious disease preparedness among school nurses and other school personnel, highlighting the need for improved infrastructure and support.

Rural health centers are specialized care facilities in remote locations with very few medical personnel. The primary care providers who run the centers are mostly Registered Nurse Practitioners. Here, emergency treatment is provided to critically ill or injured patients before they are transferred to the closest hospital. Fortunately, due to advancement in technology, many rural healthcare facilities and professionals have easy access to diagnostic and treatment...

Sputum culture and sensitivity is a medical procedure used to diagnose bacterial infections in the respiratory tract and select the most appropriate antibiotics for treatment. This process involves analyzing sputum samples of thick and opaque secretions produced in the lungs and airways. These samples are collected from patients and then sent to the laboratory for analysis.
The test can identify various pathogens responsible for respiratory infections, including Streptococcus,...
