Virtual objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) has been shown to influence the performance of nursing students. However, its specific effects, particularly students' competence, stress, anxiety, confidence, satisfaction with virtual reality OSCE and examiners' satisfaction, remain unclear.
This study aims to assess the effects of virtual reality OSCE on nursing students' education. The study follows the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Protocol guidelines. A literature search is performed on electronic databases, namely, PubMed, Web of Science, CINAHL, EBSCO, EMBASE and the Cochrane Library. The inclusion criteria adhere to the PICOS principle, encompassing nursing students, including those studying in school and those engaged in hospital internship. This review includes studies on the use of virtual reality OSCE as an assessment tool, compared with traditional clinical examinations, such as in-person OSCE. The outcome assessments encompass (1) competence, (2) stress, (3) anxiety, (4) confidence, (5) student satisfaction with virtual reality OSCE and (6) examiners' satisfaction. These studies are designed as randomised controlled trials (RCTs) or quasi-experimental research. The search time is from the inception of each database to 30 June 2023, without language restriction. Studies for inclusion are screened by two reviewers for data extraction dependently. Any dispute is resolved through discussion. Unresolved disputes are decided by consulting a third author. For the risk of bias (ROB) assessment, the Cochrane ROB tool for RCTs and the risk of bias in non-randomised studies of intervention tool are used. Moreover, RevMan V.5.3 is used for meta-analysis.
This study protocol does not include any clinical research and thus does not require ethical approval. Research findings are published in a peer-reviewed journal.

虚拟客观结构化临床考试(OSCE)已被证明会影响护理学生的表现。然而,其具体效果,尤其是学生的能力、压力、焦虑、信心、对虚拟现实 OSCE 的满意度和考官的满意度,仍不清楚。
本研究旨在评估虚拟现实 OSCE 对护理学生教育的影响。本研究遵循系统评价和荟萃分析协议的首选报告项目指南。在电子数据库中进行文献检索,包括 PubMed、Web of Science、CINAHL、EBSCO、EMBASE 和 Cochrane 图书馆。纳入标准符合 PICOS 原则,包括护理学生,包括在校学生和在医院实习的学生。本综述包括将虚拟现实 OSCE 用作评估工具的研究,与传统临床考试(如面对面 OSCE)进行比较。结果评估包括(1)能力,(2)压力,(3)焦虑,(4)信心,(5)学生对虚拟现实 OSCE 的满意度,以及(6)考官的满意度。这些研究设计为随机对照试验(RCT)或准实验研究。搜索时间从每个数据库的开始到 2023 年 6 月 30 日,无语言限制。两名评审员独立筛选纳入研究以进行数据提取。任何争议都通过讨论解决。无法解决的争议由第三位作者决定。对于偏倚风险(ROB)评估,使用 Cochrane RCTs 的 ROB 工具和干预工具的非随机研究偏倚风险工具。此外,使用 RevMan V.5.3 进行荟萃分析。
本研究方案不包括任何临床研究,因此不需要伦理批准。研究结果发表在同行评议的期刊上。
