Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter (PICC) is essential in neonatal care, especially for critically ill infants. Traditional training for neonatal PICC insertion faces challenges such as high costs and limited practice opportunities. Virtual simulation technology has emerged as a potential training tool, providing a realistic, risk-free learning environment.
The study aimed to assess the effectiveness of a virtual simulation teaching system in neonatal PICC care training, focusing on improving nursing students' knowledge， skills and interest in pediatric nursing.
A quasi-experimental design was used, with assessments conducted before and after the activity.
The study involved 58 graduate nursing students from China Medical University, divided into experimental and control groups.
The System Usability Scale (SUS) was utilized to assess teachers' experiences with the PICC virtual simulation software. Students' perceptions of the software and their interest in pediatric nursing were measured using Self-Administered Questionnaires. Furthermore, Theoretical and Operational Assessments were applied to determine the extent of students' knowledge and practical skills before and after experimentation.
Teachers and students have favorably evaluated the software system, with notable improvements in theoretical scores following testing. While the virtual simulation system does not enhance practical skills, it does increase student interest in pediatric nursing and employment.
This neonatal virtual simulation software serves as a complement to, rather than a replacement for, traditional clinical training. Its integration into educational programs significantly enhances learning outcomes.
经外周静脉穿刺中心静脉置管（PICC）在新生儿护理中至关重要，尤其是对危重症婴儿。传统的新生儿 PICC 置管培训面临成本高和实践机会有限等挑战。虚拟仿真技术作为一种潜在的培训工具，提供了真实、无风险的学习环境。
本研究旨在评估新生儿 PICC 护理培训中虚拟仿真教学系统的效果，重点关注提高护理学生对儿科护理的知识、技能和兴趣。
采用准实验设计，在活动前后进行评估。
研究对象为中国医科大学的 58 名研究生护理学生，分为实验组和对照组。
采用系统可用性量表（SUS）评估教师对 PICC 虚拟仿真软件的体验。使用自我管理问卷评估学生对软件的看法和对儿科护理的兴趣。此外，还进行了理论和操作评估，以确定学生在实验前后的知识和实践技能程度。
教师和学生对软件系统给予了积极评价，测试后理论分数显著提高。虽然虚拟仿真系统不会提高实践技能，但它确实增加了学生对儿科护理的兴趣和就业倾向。
这种新生儿虚拟仿真软件是传统临床培训的补充，而不是替代。将其纳入教育计划可显著提高学习成果。
