The effects of an immersive 3d interactive video program on improving student nurses' nursing skill competence: A...

Area of Science:

• Nursing Education
• Medical Simulation
• Health Professions Education

Background:

• Accurate clinical nursing skills are crucial for patient safety.
• Inadequate nursing skills pose risks to patients.
• Effective teaching strategies are needed to enhance nursing students' skill acquisition.

Purpose of the Study:

• To evaluate the impact of an immersive 3D interactive video program on nursing students' nasogastric tube feeding competence.
• To compare the effectiveness of 3D interactive video versus traditional demonstration videos in skill development.

Main Methods:

• A randomized controlled trial was conducted with 45 nursing students.
• Participants were assigned to either an immersive 3D video group or a standard video demonstration group.
• Data on knowledge, skill, confidence, and satisfaction were collected pre-intervention, immediately post-intervention, and one month later.

Main Results:

• Both teaching methods significantly improved nursing students' knowledge and confidence in nasogastric tube feeding.
• No significant differences were found in knowledge, skill, or confidence levels between the two groups.
• The immersive 3D interactive video group reported significantly higher satisfaction scores compared to the standard video group.

Conclusions:

• Both immersive 3D interactive videos and standard demonstration videos enhance nursing students' learning outcomes.
• Immersive 3D interactive video learning is a satisfactory and acceptable educational approach for nursing students.
• Findings offer valuable insights for nursing educators in developing innovative teaching methods and inform future research in immersive learning technologies.
