dc.description.abstractBackground: Improving self-efficacy for nursing students to manage aggressive behaviours in clients with dementia supports better outcomes for clients. No studies have been conducted on the use of immersive virtual reality as a potential tool. Method: A mixed-methods, randomized control trial explanatory design compared perceived self efficacy for practical nursing students who used the CareGiVRTM virtual reality application with those who did not, using the Inventory of Geriatric Nursing Self-Efficacy (IGNSE) along with qualitative focus groups. Results: Forty-six students (49%) participated in the quantitative component. Fifteen students elected to participate in the follow-up qualitative focus groups. Findings indicate participants who used the CareGiVRTM application reported statistically significant higher levels of perceived self-efficacy post intervention and when compared with those in the control group following their clinical rotation. Four themes were identified: getting real-world experience, a safe place to practice, meeting the client where they are at, and a tool not a replacement. Conclusion: Immersive virtual reality can be an effective tool to increase perceived self-efficacy for managing aggressive behaviours in clients with dementia in practical nursing students.
