Problem-based learning (PBL) has been widely applied in nursing education to enhance student knowledge and clinical performance skills. With the expansion of online learning after COVID-19, the use of metaverse platforms in nursing education is applying. However, their effects on diverse learning outcomes remain limited. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of learning outcomes of learning motivation, immersion, self-efficacy and achievement in PBL using the metaverse platform for nursing college students. This study utilized a pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest survey. The course, a core nursing subject at C University in the first semester of 2022, was conducted for three hours per week in a metaverse virtual space. 42 third grade students participated and completed both pre- and post-surveys and were included in the analysis. Descriptive statistics were calculated, and Paired t-tests were applied to examine pre–post differences. All statistics calculation was using SPSS software. Participants had a mean age of 23.2 ± 2.3 years, and 76.5% were female. Achievement score improved significantly post-intervention, from 35.94 ± 5.62 to 41.09 ± 5.85 (t = -4.54, p < .001), while self-efficacy score declined significantly (t = 2.99, p = .005). Learning motivation and immersion score also decreased, though these changes were not statistically significant (p = .094 and p = .460, respectively). PBL using metaverse platform can enhance achievement in nursing students. Future studies with larger samples and complete data are recommended to better assess educational potential.
