A descriptive qualitative study involving 24 nursing undergraduates and 6 clinical facilitators.
Data collected through focus group discussions and individual interviews.
Thematic analysis of transcribed audiotaped discussions.

Main Results:

Students reported varied attitudes towards virtual patient training, highlighting its role in development and suggesting improvements.
Clinical facilitators provided insights into students' communication skills and suggested enhancement strategies.
A shared theme emphasized the value of technology in teaching communication, with recommendations for improving realism and accessibility.

Conclusions:

Virtual patient simulations offer potential for teaching nursing communication skills, despite mixed student attitudes.
Addressing limitations such as lack of authenticity is necessary for effective integration into undergraduate nursing curricula.
