    Area of Science:

    • Medical Simulation
    • Virtual Reality in Healthcare
    • Perioperative Nursing Education

    Background:

    • Communication gaps and teamwork challenges can impede patient safety in perioperative settings.
    • Virtual human (VH) technology offers a novel approach to address these training deficiencies.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the effectiveness of virtual human (VH) technology in improving interdisciplinary teamwork and communication for perioperative education.
    • To assess the impact of VH simulations on healthcare professionals' confidence and competence in patient care.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of three interdisciplinary training scenarios utilizing virtual human technology.
    • Implementation of standardized communication tools and assertive communication during simulations.
    • Post-simulation debriefings and data collection via surveys by quality specialists.

    Main Results:

    • Participants reported increased confidence and competence in providing patient care after VH simulation sessions.
    • VH technology facilitated overcoming communication barriers within interdisciplinary teams.
    • Identified areas for improvement in simulation design and debriefing processes.

    Conclusions:

    • Virtual human simulation is an effective strategy for enhancing perioperative education and training.
    • VH technology improves interdisciplinary teamwork, communication, and ultimately patient safety.
    • This innovative approach benefits both novice and experienced perioperative nursing staff.
