Summary
Mixed reality (MR) simulation significantly improved nursing students' clinical reasoning and competence compared to traditional methods. MR simulation offers an effective alternative to mannequin-based training for enhancing nursing skills.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Medical Simulation
- Health Professions Education
Background:
- Simulation-based learning is crucial for developing clinical skills in nursing.
- Traditional methods like mannequin (MN) simulation and problem-based learning (PBL) with written cases have limitations.
- Exploring innovative simulation modalities like mixed reality (MR) is essential for enhancing learning outcomes.
Purpose of the Study:
- To compare the effectiveness of infection control simulation using mixed reality (MR) against high-fidelity mannequin (MN) simulation and problem-based learning (PBL) with written cases.
- To evaluate the impact of different simulation fidelities on nursing students' clinical reasoning ability and clinical competence.
- To assess student immersion, satisfaction, and self-confidence in MR simulation.
Main Methods:
- A pretest-posttest quasi-experimental design involving 72 nursing students across three groups: MR simulation, MN simulation, and PBL with written cases.
- Random assignment of participants to groups.
- Data analysis using descriptive statistics, chi-squared, Kruskal-Wallis, and Wilcoxon signed rank tests.
Main Results:
- MR simulation demonstrated significantly positive effects on clinical reasoning ability and clinical competence compared to PBL with written cases.
- MN simulation also showed significant positive effects on clinical competence compared to PBL with written cases.
- MR simulation enhanced learning immersion, satisfaction, and self-confidence.
Conclusions:
- Mixed reality simulation is an effective and appropriate method for enhancing nursing students' learning immersion, satisfaction, and self-confidence.
- MR simulation can serve as a viable substitute for mannequin simulation in improving clinical reasoning and competence.
- Utilizing diverse simulation fidelity approaches is key to comprehensively enhancing nursing student competency.
