Skill training in nursing education has been highly dependent on self-training because of Korea's high student-faculty ratio. Students tend to have a passive attitude in self-practice, and it is hard to expect effective learning outcomes with traditional checklist-dependent self-practice. Smart glasses have a high potential to assist nursing students with timely information, and a hands-free device does not interrupt performance.
This study aimed to develop a smart glass-based nursing skill training program and evaluate its usability and feasibility for the implementation of self-practice.
We conducted a usability and feasibility study with 30 undergraduate nursing students during a 2-hour open lab for self-practice of core nursing skills, wearing smart glasses for visualized guidance. The usability test was conducted using a 16-item self-reporting questionnaire and 7 open-ended questions. Learning satisfaction was assessed using a 7-item questionnaire. The number of practice sessions was recorded, and perceived competency in core nursing skills was measured before and after the intervention. At the final evaluation, performance accuracy and time consumed for completion were recorded.
Smart glass-assisted self-practice of nursing skills was perceived as helpful, convenient, and interesting. Participants reported improved recollection of sequences of skills, and perceived competency was significantly improved. Several issues were raised by participants regarding smart glasses, including small screen size, touch sensors, fogged lenses with masks, heaviness, and heat after a period of time.
Smart glasses have the potential to assist self-practice, providing timely information at students' own paces. Having both hands free from holding a device, participants reported the convenience of learning as they could practice and view the information simultaneously. Further revision correcting reported issues would improve the applicability of smart glasses in other areas of nursing education.
由于韩国师生比例高，护理教育中的技能培训高度依赖于自学。学生在自我实践中往往持被动态度，传统的依赖检查表的自我实践很难期望产生有效的学习效果。智能眼镜具有为护理学生提供及时信息的巨大潜力，而且免提设备不会打断操作。
本研究旨在开发一种基于智能眼镜的护理技能培训计划，并评估其在自我实践中的可用性和可行性。
我们对 30 名本科护理学生进行了一项可用性和可行性研究，他们在 2 小时的开放实验室中佩戴智能眼镜进行核心护理技能的自我实践，接受可视化指导。使用 16 项自我报告问卷和 7 个开放式问题进行可用性测试。使用 7 项问卷评估学习满意度。记录练习次数，并在干预前后测量核心护理技能的感知能力。在最终评估中，记录完成的准确性和时间。
智能眼镜辅助的护理技能自我实践被认为是有帮助、方便和有趣的。参与者报告说，他们对技能序列的记忆有所提高，并且感知能力显著提高。参与者对智能眼镜提出了一些问题，包括屏幕小、触摸传感器、戴口罩时镜片起雾、重量和一段时间后发热。
智能眼镜具有辅助自我实践的潜力，可以根据学生自己的节奏提供及时的信息。由于双手无需握持设备，参与者报告说学习很方便，因为他们可以同时练习和查看信息。进一步修正报告的问题将提高智能眼镜在护理教育其他领域的适用性。
