HoloPatient-based simulation education to improve nursing students' learning motivation and attitude: a mixed methods study.
Article in BMC medical education, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundThe landscape of nursing education is rapidly evolving worldwide through the integration of innovative technologies such as mixed reality (MR). While MR-based HoloPatient education shows promise for enhancing nursing education globally, particularly in settings with limited clinical placement opportunities, current research indicates positive effects on nursing students' learning outcomes. However, no evidence exists that HoloPatient-based education improves students' learning motivation and attitude. This study aimed to examine nursing students' learning motivation and attitudes following HoloPatient-based simulation education, and to explore students' perception of their HoloPatient-based simulation learning experiences.
methodsThis study used an explanatory sequential mixed methods design with a one group post-test only design followed by focus group interviews. This study was conducted from August to September 2023 at a university in South Korea. Quantitative data were collected from 100 third-year nursing students who participated in HoloPatient-based simulation education. Qualitative data were obtained through semi-structured interviews with two focus groups, conducted one week after HoloPatient-based simulation education. Statistical analyses included descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and comparative analyses. Qualitative data underwent thematic analysis following established protocols.
resultsThis study showed high level of nursing students' learning motivation (M = 4.42, SD = 0.42) and positive attitude (M = 4.08, SD = 0.50) following HoloPatient-based simulation education. A significant positive correlation was found between learning motivation and attitude (r = .59 or higher, p < .001). Qualitative findings revealed themes of positive experience, influencing factors on HoloPatient-based simulation, and barriers to HoloPatient-based simulation.
conclusionThis exploratory study found high levels of learning motivation and positive attitudes among nursing students following HoloPatient-based simulation education. However, due to the one-group post-test design and small qualitative sample, these findings should be interpreted as preliminary evidence. Further studies are needed to establish its effectiveness with randomized controlled trials or quasi-experimental designs.
