Nurses and paramedics play a pivotal role when mass casualty incidents (MCI) occur, yet they often feel unprepared for such events. Implementation strategies for training activities, including virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) simulations, offer realistic and immersive learning experiences, enhancing skills and competencies for nursing students. The aim of this work was to investigate the adopted tools in studies on VR and AR simulations for training nursing and paramedic students in managing MCI. A scoping review was performed following the PRISMA-ScR statement, and the search strategy was conducted through five electronic databases from December 2022 to March 2023. Of 162 records identified, 27 full texts were screened and, six studies were included in this review. These studies involved students who were assigned to different training methods, including immersive VR simulation, written instruction, and traditional lecture. VR and AR and immersive simulation generally show promising evidence in enhancing practical skills and knowledge in MCI management. VR and AR showed to be promising in disaster education and preparedness training, offering different levels of immersiveness and engagement, encouraging active and experiential learning. Further research is needed to determine their long-term effectiveness. The choice of training method should consider program goals, target population, and available resources.
在大规模伤亡事件（MCI）发生时，护士和护理人员发挥着关键作用，但他们往往觉得自己对这类事件准备不足。包括虚拟现实（VR）和增强现实（AR）模拟在内的培训活动实施策略，提供了逼真且身临其境的学习体验，提升了护理专业学生的技能和能力。这项工作的目的是调查在关于VR和AR模拟培训护理和护理人员学生管理MCI的研究中所采用的工具。按照PRISMA-ScR声明进行了范围综述，并于2022年12月至2023年3月通过五个电子数据库进行了检索策略。在识别出的162条记录中，筛选了27篇全文，本综述纳入了六项研究。这些研究涉及被分配到不同培训方法的学生，包括沉浸式VR模拟、书面指导和传统讲座。VR和AR以及沉浸式模拟在增强MCI管理中的实践技能和知识方面通常显示出有前景的证据。VR和AR在灾难教育和应急准备培训方面显示出有前景，提供了不同程度的沉浸感和参与度，鼓励主动和体验式学习。需要进一步研究以确定它们的长期有效性。培训方法的选择应考虑项目目标、目标人群和可用资源。
