Abstract

Objective:

This scoping review aims to identify and map the current available evidence regarding the use of immersive virtual reality technology in dementia care education for nursing students.

Introduction:

With the growing population living with dementia, there is an urgent need to prepare nurses for quality dementia care through providing relevant dementia care education for nursing students. Virtual reality is an emerging education medium for nursing education and dementia care education for nursing students. However, little evidence focuses on mapping how immersive virtual reality technology has been used in dementia care education for nursing students. With the increasing development and use of this technology, it is crucial to explore current evidence regarding the content and learning outcomes, design and development, and implementation of immersive virtual reality technology in dementia care education for nursing students.

Inclusion Criteria:

Studies are eligible if they describe the use of immersive virtual reality technology in dementia education. The dementia care education must be designed for or targeted at nursing students or healthcare professional students (including nursing students) within academic settings, such as nursing schools, universities, and colleges.

Methods:

The proposed scoping review will be conducted following the Joanna Briggs Institute methodology for scoping reviews and the Population, Concept and Context (PCC) framework. The review will search CINAHL, MEDLINE, PsycINFO, Scopus, Web of Science and ProQuest Dissertations and Theses Global. Grey literature search will be conducted via Google Scholar. Extracted data on authors, country, study design, setting, and findings relevant to the review objective will be presented in a data extraction table, accompanied by a quantitative summary of studies' characteristics and narrative summary. The PRISMAS-ScR figure will detail the selection process.

Review Registration Number:

This study has been registered with the Open Science Forum (OSF).

Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching II: Planning and Implementation

Planning for learning involves the development of a teaching plan. Teaching plans are similar to nursing care plans—both follow the steps of the nursing process. Planning in the teaching process involves setting goals and outcomes. Here, goals identify what a patient needs to achieve to understand a healthcare topic better, whereas the outcomes are the action to be performed by the patient to achieve the goal within a timeframe. For example, if the goal is to educate the patient about insulin...

Nursing Implementation

Nursing Implementation

Implementation is the execution of the nursing care plan developed during the planning phase.
The five steps to implementing effective nursing care include reassessing the patient, reviewing and revising the existing nursing care plan, organizing the resources and care delivery, anticipating and preventing complications, and implementing nursing interventions.

Dementia l: Introduction

Dementia l: Introduction

Dementia is an acquired, progressive syndrome characterized by a decline in multiple cognitive domains severe enough to impair daily functioning and reduce independence. Although memory loss is a central feature, the diagnosis requires additional deficits involving language, executive function, visuospatial skills, judgment, calculation, or abstract reasoning. These cognitive impairments reflect underlying neurodegenerative or vascular processes that gradually disrupt neuronal networks...
