Summary
This scoping review maps the use of virtual simulation (VS) in cardiology nursing education. It highlights the need for more research on VS effectiveness for teaching cardiovascular disease nursing skills.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Cardiology
- Virtual Simulation
Background:
- Virtual simulation (VS) is a recognized learning strategy in nursing education for cardiovascular disease.
- However, its application in teaching cardiology specifically within nursing programs is under-researched.
- This review aims to map the current landscape of VS use in cardiology nursing education.
Purpose of the Study:
- To conduct a scoping review to map the utilization of virtual simulation (VS) for teaching cardiology in nursing.
- Identify existing literature and research trends in this specific educational domain.
Main Methods:
- Adherence to Joanna Briggs Institute methodology for scoping reviews.
- Comprehensive search of eight major databases (e.g., PubMed, CINAHL, Web of Science) and grey literature.
- Inclusion of all peer-reviewed literature without time or language restrictions, with independent screening by two reviewers.
Main Results:
- The review will synthesize findings on how virtual simulation is currently employed in cardiology nursing education.
- Results will be presented through thematic analysis, tables, graphs, and word clouds for comprehensive understanding.
- This mapping will identify gaps and areas for future research in the field.
Conclusions:
- Virtual simulation holds potential for enhancing cardiology education in nursing.
- Further research is needed to establish the effectiveness and best practices of VS in this specialized area.
- This scoping review will provide a foundational understanding for future curriculum development and implementation.

Nursing Assessment:Nursing management of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) involves taking the patient's history, focusing on primary complaints such as chest pain, dyspnea, and excessive sweating (diaphoresis), as well as other symptoms like back or jaw pain, nausea, vomiting, palpitations, dizziness, and fatigue. The nurse also reviews the patient's history of cardiac events, risk factors such as hypertension, diabetes, smoking, family history, and current medications.In the objective assessment,...

Cardiac computed tomography (CT) scanning is an advanced cardiac imaging technique that utilizes CT technology, with or without intravenous (IV) contrast, to produce accurate cross-sectional virtual slices of specific areas of the heart, coronary circulation, and major blood vessels such as the aorta, pulmonary veins, and arteries. The computer processes these slices to generate three-dimensional images. Multidetector CT (MDCT) is a rapid form of CT scanning that captures multiple slices...

Description
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Ventilation Perfusion Scans are two radiological investigations that offer detailed diagnostic images of the body, particularly lung structures.
MRI
MRI uses magnetic fields and radiofrequency signals to distinguish between normal and abnormal tissues. This technology provides a more detailed diagnostic image than CT scans, enabling it to characterize pulmonary nodules, stage bronchogenic carcinoma, and evaluate inflammatory activity in...

The nursing process provides a clinical decision-making framework for patients and families to establish and implement a personalized care plan. Since part of the nurse's duties is to teach patients, the steps of the nursing process are the most effective way to approach instruction. The nursing process and the teaching-learning process are inextricably linked.

Cardiac imaging studies encompass a wide range of noninvasive and minimally invasive techniques designed to visualize the heart's structure and function in detail. One such technique is echocardiography, which uses high-frequency ultrasound waves to produce detailed images of the heart, known as echocardiograms.
Indications: Echocardiography is utilized to diagnose heart failure, valve disorders, and myocardial infarction. It also assesses cardiac structures' size, shape, and motion,...
