The use of simulation in nursing education is an integrated part of the curriculum and has demonstrated the benefit for learning in nursing students at all levels. The next stage in simulation-based learning will utilize the wide variety of new technologies that are currently available, including virtual and augmented reality. The use of these new technologies brings with it a need for standard definitions, evaluation of its impact on learning, and new opportunities for research. Efforts are underway to standardized definitions and publish early findings on research using these new technologies. There are many opportunities available for nursing educators to create a new era of simulation-based learning methodologies by incorporating virtual and augmented realities in their curriculum. The state of the science is showing promising outcomes and commercial products are maturing.The utilization of these new technologies should be approached in the same way as other learning methodologies as many new ideas and ways of learning are emerging in this area. It will be critical for nursing educators and faculty to determine the optimal ways to utilize them.
模拟在护理教育中的应用是课程的一个组成部分，已经证明对各级护理学生的学习有益。基于模拟的学习的下一阶段将利用目前可用的各种新技术，包括虚拟现实和增强现实。这些新技术的使用带来了对标准定义、对其学习影响的评估以及新的研究机会的需求。目前正在努力标准化定义，并发布使用这些新技术的早期研究结果。护理教育者有很多机会通过在课程中纳入虚拟现实和增强现实来创造一个基于模拟的学习方法的新时代。科学现状显示出有希望的结果，商业产品也在日趋成熟。这些新技术的使用应该像其他学习方法一样，因为在这个领域涌现出许多新的想法和学习方式。对于护理教育者和教师来说，确定最佳的利用方法至关重要。
