Abstract
Open AccessOBJECTIVES: to analyze user experience in the metaverse during an academic-scientific nursing event in Brazil. METHODS: a quantitative-qualitative documentary study, based on records of a survey applied during an academic-scientific event broadcast in the metaverse. The AttrakDiff questionnaire assessed user experience. Descriptive and inferential analyses were performed considering p<0.05. Qualitative data were categorized using content analysis. The study complied with research ethics standards. RESULTS: positive experiences were observed in the dimensions assessed. Being in the age group of over 60 years was associated with the pragmatic quality dimension (p=0.012), which had a positive average. The comments had very similar impressions of potentialities and limitations, regardless of prior knowledge of the platform. CONCLUSIONS: the study contributed to understanding user experience in immersive environments applied to nursing, evidencing favorable assessments regarding the metaverse usability and functionality, highlighting its effectiveness among older users.
