Abstract

Purpose

Virtual reality technology has been used to establish a risk-free environment in which students can practice psychiatric nursing. A quasi-experimental study was conducted to examine the effects of a virtual reality (VR) based mental health nursing simulation on practice performance of undergraduate nursing students.

Methods

A quasi-experimental, pre- and post-test design was used. A total of 68 students were randomly assigned to an experimental group (n = 32) and a control group (n = 36). The control group received conventional simulation using text scenario-based role play. The intervention group received VR software consisting of 360° video clips and related quiz questions.

Results

The self-reported perceived competency in nursing performance showed no statistically significant improvement in the experimental group, whereas the control group showed a statistically significant improvement in symptom management (t = 2.84, p = 0.007) and nurse-patient interaction (t = 2.10, p = 0.043). Scores from the assessor showed better performance scores in the experimental group in symptom management (t = −2.62, p = 0.011), violence risk management (t = −3.42, p = 0.001), and nurse-patient interaction (t = −3.12, p = 0.003).

Conclusions

The findings of this study indicate the potential of using VR for optimized mental health nursing simulation. VR technology allowed realistic experiences which may ensure students have a more comprehensive understanding of mentally ill patients and in doing so, overcome barriers of traditional simulation, resulting in better learning outcomes.

将虚拟现实技术定位为心理健康护理教育中的临床体验手段：准实验研究

目的虚拟现实技术已被用于建立一个无风险的环境，让学生在其中进行精神科护理实践。我们开展了一项准实验研究，以考察基于虚拟现实（VR）的精神健康护理模拟对护理本科生实践表现的影响。共有 68 名学生被随机分配到实验组（32 人）和对照组（36 人）。对照组接受传统的模拟教学，使用基于文本场景的角色扮演。结果实验组在自我报告的护理绩效感知能力方面没有统计学意义上的显著改善，而对照组在症状管理（t = 2.84，p = 0.007）和护患互动（t = 2.10，p = 0.043）方面有统计学意义上的显著改善。评估员的评分显示，实验组在症状管理（t = -2.62，p = 0.011）、暴力风险管理（t = -3.42，p = 0.001）和护患互动（t = -3.12，p = 0.003）方面的表现更好。虚拟现实技术提供了逼真的体验，可确保学生对精神病患者有更全面的了解，从而克服传统模拟的障碍，取得更好的学习效果。
