Virtual reality simulation (VRS) enhances nursing students' clinical judgment. This study explored how VRS experiences shape students' learning and problem-solving skills in nursing education.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Medical Simulation
- Health Professions Education
Background:
- Virtual reality simulation (VRS) is an innovative teaching method in nursing.
- Its role in developing clinical skills requires further investigation.
Purpose of the Study:
- To explore nursing students' learning experiences with VRS.
- To examine the development of clinical reasoning and judgment post-VRS participation.
Main Methods:
- Qualitative descriptive study design.
- Utilized established nursing clinical judgment frameworks for theoretical grounding.
Main Results:
- Participant narratives demonstrated the application of nursing clinical judgment.
- Evidence of judgment phases and descriptions emerged from focus groups.
Conclusions:
- Virtual reality simulation positively impacts the development of nursing clinical judgment.
- VRS is a valuable tool for enhancing student decision-making skills in nursing.
