Abstract:
This quantitative descriptive study explored the impact of virtual reality (VR) simulation on nursing students' understanding of social determinants of health (SDOH). The study assessed students' knowledge and attitudes toward SDOH after participating in VR simulations that mimicked diverse home environments and client scenarios. The intervention was intended to prepare future nurses for practice in diverse community settings and deepen their understanding of community challenges, particularly those impacted by socioeconomic disparities. The study is significant for its innovative approach to nursing education, employing VR to bridge gaps in experiential learning and enhance readiness for real-world community practice.
