The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the need for quality nurses and nursing education. Virtual simulation emerged as a key component of providing clinical experiences to nursing students.
Commercial virtual simulation products can be costly, and it is difficult to ensure the content meets student needs. In addition, there is a potential for cheating as answers are available online.
Faculty recorded 16 different scenarios in pre-determined segments, including patient report, assessment, provider communication, and conclusion. During the clinical experience, the students watched the videos and participated in faculty-led discussion. At the conclusion of the activity, students completed a reflection assignment providing qualitative data for review.
Student feedback was positive. Themes identified in the comments include critical thinking, variety of scenarios, observer role, debriefing, and overall quality of experience.
Homemade virtual clinical has the potential to be a low-cost, high-impact method for virtual simulation across nursing curricula. Further research is needed.
新冠疫情凸显了对高素质护士和护理教育的需求。虚拟模拟成为为护理专业学生提供临床体验的关键组成部分。
商业虚拟模拟产品可能成本高昂,且难以确保内容满足学生需求。此外,由于答案可在网上获取,存在作弊的可能性。
教师录制了16个不同场景的预定义片段,包括患者报告、评估、与提供者沟通以及总结。在临床体验期间,学生观看视频并参与教师主导的讨论。活动结束时,学生完成一份反思作业,提供定性数据以供审查。
学生反馈积极。评论中确定的主题包括批判性思维、场景多样性、观察者角色、汇报以及整体体验质量。
自制虚拟临床有可能成为一种低成本、高影响力的方法,用于跨护理课程的虚拟模拟。需要进一步研究。
