With increasing use of virtual reality simulation (VRS) in nursing education and given the vast array of technologies available, a variety of levels of immersion and experiences can be provided to students. This study explored two different levels of immersive VRS capability. Study participants included baccalaureate nursing students from three universities across four campuses. Students were trained in the skill of decontamination using traditional methods or with VRS options of mouse and keyboard or head-mounted display technology. Results of focus group interviews reflect the student experience and satisfaction with two different immersive levels of VRS.
随着虚拟现实模拟(VRS)在护理教育中的使用日益增加,并且鉴于现有大量技术,可为学生提供各种不同程度的沉浸感和体验。本研究探讨了两种不同程度的沉浸式VRS能力。研究参与者包括来自四所校区的三所大学的护理学本科学生。学生们使用传统方法或通过鼠标键盘或头戴式显示技术的VRS选项接受去污技能培训。焦点小组访谈的结果反映了学生对两种不同沉浸式程度的VRS的体验和满意度。
