When provided with opportunities to view the world from the patients' perspective, nursing students can experience the same practical occurrences and feelings that patients encounter, consequently becoming more aware of their discomfort and pain. This study aimed to evaluate the performance of the patient experience virtual reality blended learning program developed for nursing students. This study is significant in that it presents a program that enables nursing students to not only experience being perioperative patients themselves but also experience their conditions in places other than hospitals, which are generally used as training locations. The analytical results of this study indicated that nursing students who virtually experienced the conditions of perioperative patients through virtual reality blended learning showed increased levels of empathy, positive attitudes toward patient safety treatment, confidence in nursing care, and clinical skill performance. The developed program in this study blended various teaching methods with a virtual reality platform to help junior nursing students with practical and effective perioperative training increase their levels of empathy by simulating the experiences and perspectives of perioperative patients.
当有机会从患者的角度观察世界时，护理学生可以体验到患者所遇到的相同的实际情况和感受，从而更加意识到他们的不适和痛苦。本研究旨在评估为护理学生开发的患者体验虚拟现实混合学习计划的表现。这项研究意义重大，因为它提出了一个方案，使护理学生不仅能够体验自己作为围手术期患者的感受，而且能够在医院以外的地方体验他们的状况，医院通常是作为培训地点。本研究的分析结果表明，通过虚拟现实混合学习虚拟体验围手术期患者状况的护理学生表现出更高水平的同理心、对患者安全治疗的积极态度、对护理的信心以及临床技能表现。本研究开发的程序将各种教学方法与虚拟现实平台相融合，帮助初级护理学生进行实际有效的围手术期培训，通过模拟围手术期患者的体验和观点来提高他们的同理心水平。
