"Sense of Presence" in Immersive Virtual Reality Environment: An Evolutionary Concept Analysis
Dimensions of Critical Care Nursing : DCCN
|July 29, 2022
Summary
This study defines "sense of presence" in immersive virtual reality for nursing education. Understanding this concept is crucial for advancing nursing practice, theory, and research in virtual environments.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Virtual Reality Technology
- Human-Computer Interaction
Background:
- The concept of "sense of presence" lacks clear definition within immersive virtual reality (IVR) for nursing clinical education.
- Existing literature does not provide a comprehensive analysis of this concept in the specified educational context.
Purpose of the Study:
- To explore the meaning of "sense of presence" in IVR for nursing clinical education.
- To derive an operational definition for "sense of presence" within this specific context.
Main Methods:
- Utilized Rodgers' evolutionary concept analysis approach.
- Examined surrogate terms, related terms, attributes, antecedents, and consequences of the concept.
Main Results:
- Identified key attributes defining "sense of presence" in IVR nursing education.
- Clarified the concept's boundaries, including its precursors and outcomes.
Conclusions:
- A precise conceptualization of "sense of presence" is essential for nursing education.
- This analysis provides a foundation for guiding nursing practice, theory development, and research in virtual reality settings.

01:20Evolutionary Psychology
385
Evolutionary psychology explores the origins of human behavior and mental processes by framing them within the context of natural selection, a theory famously propounded by Charles Darwin. This field asserts that many behaviors common across human societies — ranging from instinctive fear reactions to complex social interactions — arose as evolutionary adaptations. These adaptations enhanced the survival and reproductive success of our ancestors, thereby becoming embedded in the...

01:21Gestalt Principles of Perception
406
Gestalt principles provide a framework for understanding how humans perceive objects as unified wholes within their context. These principles are essential in explaining the cognitive processes that make sense of complex visual stimuli by organizing them into coherent groups. One fundamental principle is proximity, which posits that objects located close to each other are perceived as a collective group. For instance, when dots are positioned near one another, the visual system interprets them...

01:24Facial Feedback Hypothesis
241
Charles Darwin proposed that facial expressions are an evolutionary adaptation for communication. He argued that these expressions are not influenced by culture but are universal across species. For example, a snarling expression with exposed teeth signals a threat in many animals, including humans. Darwin also suggested that displaying an emotion can intensify the feeling. Smiling, for example, could enhance one's sense of happiness. This idea laid the foundation for understanding the role...

01:28Perception

Perception is a fundamental psychological process that enables individuals to organize, interpret, and consciously experience sensory information. This process is crucial for understanding and interacting with the world around us. It includes both bottom-up and top-down processing, each playing a distinct role in how we perceive our environment.
Bottom-up processing begins at the sensory level, where receptors detect external environmental stimuli. These could include the tactile sensation of...

01:29Instinct Theory

Instinct theory proposes that innate biological instincts, like animal behavioral patterns, primarily drive human behavior. These instincts are inborn, not learned, and are fundamental to decision-making and action. Just as animals rely on instincts for critical survival functions such as migration, nest building, and defense, humans are also believed to exhibit behaviors rooted in evolutionary needs. For example, the instinct to reproduce motivates sexual behavior, while territorial instincts...

01:25Factors Affecting Perception
1.8K
Perception is influenced by perceptual set, context, motivation, and emotion. Perceptual set, or perceptual expectancy, refers to the tendency to perceive things in a particular way, influenced by previous experiences and expectations. This phenomenon affects the interpretation of stimuli, creating a set of mental tendencies and assumptions that impact sensory perceptions of sound, taste, touch, and sight.
