Abstract
Background: With the rapid advancement of information technology, Virtual Reality (VR) has become increasingly prominent in nursing education. VR-based education offers immersive, interactive, and realistic clinical experiences, holding great promise for enhancing nurses' clinical competencies, particularly in complex tasks such as delirium assessment.
Purpose: This study aims to assess the effects of Spherical Video-based Virtual Reality (SVVR) technology on improving nurses’ clinical knowledge, assessment abilities, and attitudes toward managing delirium in clinical settings. By integrating SVVR, this study seeks to provide an innovative, immersive educational approach that allows learners to practice real-world scenarios, thereby enhancing their practical skills.
Methods: The educational intervention involves scenario-based videos filmed in a real intensive care unit (ICU) setting, focused on the recognition and management of delirium. The SVVR technology will provide a highly realistic and interactive learning environment that simulates actual clinical conditions. Approximately 108 nursing staff from a medical center in northern Taiwan will be randomly assigned to either the experimental group, which will engage with a 20-min SVVR-based approach, or the control group, which will watch standard educational videos without interactive components. The effects of this educational intervention will be assessed using the Nurses’ Knowledge, Attitude and Practice of Delirium Subtype Assessment scale, the Attitudes Toward Science Learning Questionnaire, and the Technology Acceptance Questionnaire. Data will be collected before and after the intervention to evaluate changes in delirium assessment competence, attitudes toward scientific learning, and technology acceptance among participants.
Results: The production of the instructional SVVR-based content has been completed, and the trial is scheduled for implementation from January to March 2025. Participant feedback will be gathered to assess the effectiveness and usability of the SVVR educational model, and to explore potential improvements in the training approach.

Description
This study anticipates that the SVVR-based approach will significantly enhance nurses’ delirium assessment skills and knowledge retention. The findings are expected to provide valuable evidence-based support for the broader integration of immersive technologies into nursing education and professional development programs, ultimately improving the quality of patient care.
