Mixed simulation combining 360° virtual reality and manikin-based simulators significantly improved nursing students
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Medical Simulation Technology
Background:
- Conventional simulation methods face limitations in immersive learning experiences.
- Virtual reality (VR) offers potential to overcome these barriers in healthcare education.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the impact of mixed simulation (360° VR and high-fidelity simulator) on nursing students' arrhythmia care education.
Main Methods:
- 49 nursing students were randomized into intervention (mixed simulation) and control groups.
- Intervention group experienced 360° VR arrhythmia cases followed by manikin simulation.
- Outcomes measured included knowledge, decision-making competency, anxiety, empathy, and satisfaction.
Main Results:
- Mixed simulation enhanced knowledge and decision-making, particularly in 'knowing and acting' and 'seeking information'.
- Reduced anxiety was observed in 'using resources to gather information' within the intervention group.
- High levels of empathy, program liking, and satisfaction were reported by participants.
Conclusions:
- Blending 360° VR with manikin-based simulation offers a synergistic approach to nursing education.
- This mixed simulation strategy effectively reinforces learning and enhances patient understanding and empathy.
- 360° VR is a valuable tool for active participation and comprehensive learning in nursing.
