An interventional study of Virtual Reality Usage on Oral Care Knowledge in Virtual Reality, Oral Care and Knowledge, Attitudes, Practice, sponsored by Kaohsiung Medical University Chung-Ho Memorial Hospital. Completed at 1 site in Taiwan. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 25 Years, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2022-02-21.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of virtual reality usage on oral care knowledge in nursing students. The participants were randomly assigned to virtual-reality experimental and control groups. The students in experimental group received a 30 minutes virtual reality (VR) training for elderly oral health care at the second week and the fourth week after the first time survey. All students self-administrated questionnaire three times at first date of consent form signed, immediately after each of the intervention for period of two weeks. Linear regression in generalized estimating equations (GEE) compare the differences between both groups.
A total of 50 first-year to third-year undergraduate nursing students were included from the Department of Nursing, Kaohsiung Medical University, Taiwan. The students were randomly assigned divided at random into two groups, control (n = 25) and experimental (n = 25).
Kaohsiung Medical University Chung-Ho Memorial Hospital is the lead sponsor of 281 studies on the registry; 57 are open to participants now.

Knowledge of geriatric oral hygiene scale
There were 10 items to evaluate the participants' knowledge of the geriatric oral hygiene scale Each item had three response options: true, false, and unknown. The total score ranged from 0 to 10 and a higher score indicated a higher level of knowledge of geriatric oral hygiene.
Time frame: through study completion, an average of 4 weeks
Attitudes of geriatric oral hygiene scale
The attitudes of geriatric oral hygiene scale included seven items. Each item was scored on a five-point Likert-type scale ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree). The total score ranged from 5 to 35 and a higher score indicated a positive attitude toward geriatric oral hygiene.
Time frame: through study completion, an average of 4 weeks
Self-efficacy of geriatric oral hygiene scale
The self-efficacy of geriatric oral hygiene scale included ten items. Each item was scored on a five-point Likert-type scale ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree) and the higher score was for a higher level of self-efficacy of geriatric oral hygiene, vise versa. The total score ranged from 5 to 50.
Time frame: through study completion, an average of 4 weeks
Behavioral intention of geriatric oral hygiene scale
The behavioral intention scale of the geriatric oral hygiene included ten items. Each item was scored on a five-point Likert-type scale ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree), with a higher score indicated a higher level of the behavioral intention of geriatric oral hygiene. The total score ranged from 5 to 50.
Time frame: through study completion, an average of 4 weeks
