Current Trends in Nursing II

Current Trends in Nursing II

Trends in nursing are multifactorial and associated with changes in society, within the nursing profession, and in other professions. Notably, telehealth and remote nursing contribute to successful healthcare delivery for numerous patients and help reduce stress for nurses due to nursing shortages. Nurses can reach patients, monitor their conditions, and interact with them using computers, audio, visual accessories, and telephones—for example, remote patient monitoring systems. Likewise,...

Theoretical Foundations of Nursing Practice

Theoretical Foundations of Nursing Practice

Theories play an essential role in organizing patient care. Theories refer to a proposed or followed belief, policy, or procedure that is the basis for action. Nursing theories are knowledge-based concepts that guide nurses' actions, influence nursing education and practice, and allow nurses to care for their patients.
Theories provide a perspective to assess patients' conditions and organize data and methods. They also assist in analyzing and interpreting information. They represent a...

Area of Science:

Nursing Research
Health Informatics
Human-Computer Interaction

Background:

Virtual reality (VR) involves computerized, lifelike environments for user interaction.
While other fields adopt VR, nursing research has not yet widely embraced this technology.
Nursing research emphasizes the interplay of environment, individual, and health.

Purpose of the Study:

To describe the application of virtual reality (VR) as a measurement method in nursing research.
To highlight the potential benefits of VR for nursing studies.
To address considerations for implementing VR in nursing research.

Main Methods:

Conceptual description of virtual reality technology.
Discussion of VR's applicability to nursing research paradigms.
Emphasis on the importance of tool selection and validation.

Main Results:

Virtual reality presents a promising, yet underutilized, measurement approach for nursing.
Reliability and validity are key factors in selecting VR tools for research.
Potential VR side effects like vertigo and discomfort require protocol planning.

Conclusions:

Virtual reality technology can significantly enhance nursing research methodologies.
Rigorous validation and management of side effects are essential for successful VR integration.
Nursing should explore and adopt VR to advance its research capabilities.
