Game-based virtual reality phone applications can create a realistic environment to prepare for clinical applications and improve students' knowledge of and compliance with standard precautions. An experimental study was performed among 126 nursing students' from the third and fourth nursing levels to determine the effect of online education and game-based virtual reality phone applications related to standard precautions. Students were divided randomly into two groups; the experimental group used online education and game-based virtual reality phone applications, while the control group used traditional education. The study was performed between July and August 2019 to prevent clashes with lectures and midterm and final examinations. A tool package including knowledge, attitude, and compliance with standard precautions was used in pre-and post-tests among nursing students. The results showed that the knowledge of, attitudes towards, and compliance with standard precautions differed between the two groups. The performance of the experimental group of nursing students significantly improved with online instruction and game-based virtual reality phone applications. This study demonstrated the effectiveness of online education and game-based virtual reality phone application among nursing students.
基于游戏的虚拟现实手机应用程序可以创造一个现实的环境，为临床应用做好准备，并提高学生对标准预防措施的知识和遵守程度。本实验在来自第三和第四护理年级的 126 名护理学生中进行，以确定在线教育和基于游戏的虚拟现实手机应用程序对标准预防措施的影响。学生被随机分为两组；实验组使用在线教育和基于游戏的虚拟现实手机应用程序，而对照组使用传统教育。该研究于 2019 年 7 月至 8 月进行，以避免与讲座和期中考试和期末考试发生冲突。在护理学生的预测试和后测试中使用了包括知识、态度和遵守标准预防措施的工具包。结果表明，两组学生的知识、态度和遵守标准预防措施存在差异。实验组护理学生的表现通过在线指导和基于游戏的虚拟现实手机应用程序显著提高。本研究证明了在线教育和基于游戏的虚拟现实手机应用程序在护理学生中的有效性。
