Asthma is a major chronic disease affecting 8.6% of children in the United States.
The purpose of this research was to assess the use of clinical simulation scenarios using augmented reality technology to evaluate learning outcomes for nurse practitioner students studying pediatric asthma management.
A mixed-methods pilot study was conducted with 2 cohorts of graduate pediatric nurse practitioner students (N=21), with each cohort participating for 2 semesters.
Significant improvements in pediatric asthma test scores (P<.001) of student learning were found in both cohorts at posttest in both semesters. Student satisfaction with the augmented reality technology was found to be high. The focus group discussions revealed that the simulation was realistic and helpful for a flipped classroom approach.
The study results suggest augmented reality simulation to be valuable in teaching pediatric asthma management content in graduate nursing education.
哮喘是一种主要的慢性疾病，影响着美国8.6%的儿童。
本研究的目的是评估使用增强现实技术的临床模拟场景，以评估学习儿科哮喘管理的执业护士学生的学习成果。
对两组研究生儿科执业护士学生（N = 21）进行了一项混合方法的试点研究，每组学生参与两个学期。
两个学期的后测中，两组学生的儿科哮喘测试成绩（P <.001）均有显著提高。学生对增强现实技术的满意度很高。焦点小组讨论表明，该模拟逼真且有助于翻转课堂教学法。
研究结果表明，增强现实模拟在研究生护理教育中教授儿科哮喘管理内容方面具有价值。
