Fourth-level nursing students will be randomly assigned either to metaverse-based case scenarios integrated into their psychiatric nursing education or to usual teaching without metaverse exposure. Outcomes will be measured using validated scales for interpersonal communication, learning engagement, and mind-wandering before and after the intervention.
