Summary
The home-visits virtual reality simulation (HVRS) program significantly improved nursing students' home-visit knowledge, self-confidence, self-efficacy, and clinical competency. This VR simulation offers an effective educational tool for nursing students.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Virtual Reality Simulation
- Health Professions Education
Background:
- Traditional nursing education faces challenges in providing realistic home-visit experiences.
- Virtual reality simulation offers a potential solution for immersive and safe clinical training.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the effectiveness of a head-mounted display-based home-visits virtual reality simulation (HVRS) program.
- To assess the impact of HVRS on undergraduate nursing students' learning outcomes.
Main Methods:
- A nonequivalent control group, non-synchronized design was used with 84 undergraduate nursing students.
- The experimental group received the HVRS program with scenarios on hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and stroke.
- Data were analyzed using SPSS version 25.0.
Main Results:
- The HVRS group showed significant improvements in home-visit knowledge (p < .001), self-confidence (p < .001), self-efficacy (p = .002), and clinical competency (p < .001).
- No significant difference was observed in nursing knowledge specifically about strokes.
Conclusions:
- The developed HVRS program is effective for enhancing key competencies in nursing students.
- HVRS shows promise as an innovative educational tool to supplement traditional nursing curricula.
