Virtual Reality (VR) has proven to be a valuable tool for medical and nursing education. VR simulators are available at any time and from anywhere, and can be used with or without faculty supervision, which results in a significant optimization of time, space, and resources. In this paper we present a highly-configurable session designer for VR-based nursing education following the Standards for QUality Improvement Reporting Excellence: SQUIRE 2.0 and SQUIRE-EDU. Unlike existing platforms, we focus on letting educators quickly customize the training sessions in multiple aspects. This is achieved through the use of a visual editor, where educators can choose the environment and the elements in the session, and a node-based visual system for programming the behavior of the sessions. Thanks to end-user customization, educators can develop different variants of a session, adapt the sessions to new nursing protocols, incorporate new equipment or instruments, or accommodate custom environments. We have implemented the designer and tested it on various nursing training scenarios. The designer can be integrated into VR simulators to help educators save time in delivering highly customizable training.
虚拟现实（VR）已被证明是医学和护理教育的宝贵工具。VR模拟器随时随地可用，有无教师监督均可使用，这极大地优化了时间、空间和资源。在本文中，我们按照卓越质量改进报告标准：SQUIRE 2.0和SQUIRE-EDU，介绍了一种用于基于VR的护理教育的高度可配置的课程设计器。与现有平台不同，我们专注于让教育工作者能够在多个方面快速定制培训课程。这通过使用可视化编辑器来实现，教育工作者可以在其中选择课程中的环境和元素，以及用于对课程行为进行编程的基于节点的可视化系统。得益于最终用户定制，教育工作者可以开发课程的不同变体，使课程适应新的护理协议，纳入新设备或仪器，或适应定制环境。我们已经实现了该设计器并在各种护理培训场景中对其进行了测试。该设计器可以集成到VR模拟器中，以帮助教育工作者在提供高度可定制的培训时节省时间。
