Summary
A new template guides virtual reality simulation (VRS) in nursing education, detailing essential educational and virtual elements for effective instructional design. Its usability was evaluated in three VRS scenarios.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Educational Technology
- Virtual Reality Simulation
Background:
- Virtual reality simulation (VRS) offers innovative teaching potential in nursing education.
- Limited information exists on optimal instructional design and technology for VRS in nursing.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop a comprehensive template for virtual reality simulation-based nursing education.
- To evaluate the usability of the developed VRS education template.
Main Methods:
- A methodological study was conducted in a university multimedia room.
- A template was developed, validated by content experts, and refined.
- The template was applied to create three virtual reality simulation scenarios for undergraduate nursing students.
Main Results:
- The template includes detailed educational elements (e.g., learning objectives, feedback, debriefing), virtual elements (e.g., framework, degree of virtuality), and scenario outlines.
- Three virtual reality simulation scenarios were successfully developed using the template.
- Student focus group interviews provided insights into their learning experiences.
Conclusions:
- The developed template provides a framework for educators to implement effective virtual reality simulation-based nursing education.
- Consideration of the technical capabilities of the virtual reality platform is crucial for optimal implementation.
