Virtual simulation as an emerging nursing pedagogy can facilitate optimal learning through the use of experiential learning and technology. The purpose of this prospective cohort study was to assess the long-term effects of virtual simulation on undergraduate nursing students' recognition of and causative beliefs about depression and schizophrenia. Students' responses from the simulation cohort (n = 149) and the nonsimulation cohort (n = 150) at a school of nursing in the United States were compared. While students' responses were fairly similar between the two cohorts, students who received virtual simulations more often rated character weakness as an unlikely cause for schizophrenia than those who did not receive virtual simulations. The major difference supports the use of virtual simulation in influencing positive changes in nursing students' perceptions and attitudes toward mental illness.
虚拟仿真作为一种新兴的护理教学法，可以通过体验式学习和技术来促进最佳学习。本前瞻性队列研究的目的是评估虚拟仿真对本科护理学生对抑郁和精神分裂症的认知和因果信念的长期影响。将来自美国一所护理学校的模拟组（n=149）和非模拟组（n=150）学生的反应进行了比较。虽然两组学生的反应相当相似，但接受虚拟模拟的学生比未接受虚拟模拟的学生更倾向于认为性格弱点不是精神分裂症的可能原因。这一主要差异支持在影响护理学生对精神疾病的看法和态度方面使用虚拟仿真。
