The COVID-19 pandemic underscored the necessity for innovative educational methods in nursing. Our study takes a unique approach using a multidisciplinary simulation design, which offers a systematic and comprehensive strategy for developing virtual reality (VR) simulations in nursing education.
The aim of this study is to develop VR simulation content for a pediatric nursing module based on a multidisciplinary simulation design and to evaluate its feasibility for nursing education.
This study used a 1-group, posttest-only design. VR content for pediatric nursing practice was developed by integrating the technological characteristics of a multimodal VR system with the learning elements of traditional nursing simulation, combining various disciplines, including education, engineering, and nursing. A user test was conducted with 12 nursing graduates (preservice nurses) followed by post hoc surveys (assessing presence, VR systems, VR sickness, and simulation satisfaction) and in-depth, one-on-one interviews.
User tests showed mean scores of 4.01 (SD 1.43) for presence, 4.91 (SD 0.81) for the VR system, 0.64 (SD 0.35) for VR sickness, and 5.00 (SD 1.00) for simulation satisfaction. In-depth interviews revealed that the main strengths of the immersive VR simulation for pediatric pneumonia nursing were effective visualization and direct experience through hands-on manipulation; the drawback was keyword-based voice interaction. To improve VR simulation quality, participants suggested increasing the number of nursing techniques and refining them in more detail.
This VR simulation content for a pediatric nursing practice using a multidisciplinary educational design model was confirmed to have positive educational potential. Further research is needed to confirm the specific learning effects of immersive nursing content based on multidisciplinary design models.
COVID-19 大流行凸显了护理领域创新教育方法的必要性。我们的研究采用了一种独特的方法,即使用多学科模拟设计,为护理教育中虚拟现实 (VR) 模拟的开发提供了系统全面的策略。
本研究旨在基于多学科模拟设计开发儿科护理模块的 VR 模拟内容,并评估其在护理教育中的可行性。
本研究采用 1 组后测设计。通过将多模态 VR 系统的技术特点与传统护理模拟的学习要素相结合,整合教育、工程和护理等多个学科,开发儿科护理实践的 VR 内容。对 12 名护理毕业生(准护士)进行用户测试,随后进行事后调查(评估存在感、VR 系统、VR 疾病和模拟满意度)和深入的一对一访谈。
用户测试显示存在感平均得分为 4.01(SD 1.43),VR 系统平均得分为 4.91(SD 0.81),VR 疾病平均得分为 0.64(SD 0.35),模拟满意度平均得分为 5.00(SD 1.00)。深入访谈显示,儿科肺炎护理沉浸式 VR 模拟的主要优势在于通过实际操作实现了有效的可视化和直接体验;缺点是基于关键字的语音交互。为了提高 VR 模拟质量,参与者建议增加护理技术的数量,并更详细地细化它们。
使用多学科教育设计模型开发的儿科护理实践 VR 模拟内容被证实具有积极的教育潜力。需要进一步研究来确认基于多学科设计模型的沉浸式护理内容的具体学习效果。
