Abstract
Background
We investigated the impact of an immersive virtual reality (IVR)-based scenario simulation education program as an alternative to traditional maternity nursing practicums.
Method
A simulation maternity nursing class at Wonkwang University in South Korea was conducted with 59 junior nursing students (experimental group = 30, control group = 29). This randomized controlled trial evaluated the effects of the IVR simulation on students’ knowledge, satisfaction, self-efficacy, and confidence in delivering nursing care. We conducted data collection from September 2021 to February 2022. SPSS version 25.0 was used for data analysis.
Results
Both groups’ most common previous-semester grade was B, followed by A and C. In the experimental group, 17 participants reported high or very high satisfaction, and 12 in the control group reported high satisfaction. The groups showed significant differences in knowledge (p = .024), satisfaction (p < .001), self-efficacy (p = .018), and confidence (p < .001) in normal vaginal delivery nursing care.
Conclusions
Compared to traditional simulation, IVR simulation can enhance maternity nursing students’ knowledge, satisfaction, self-efficacy, and confidence.
期刊介绍:
Clinical Simulation in Nursing is an international, peer reviewed journal published online monthly. Clinical Simulation in Nursing is the official journal of the International Nursing Association for Clinical Simulation & Learning (INACSL) and reflects its mission to advance the science of healthcare simulation.
We will review and accept articles from other health provider disciplines, if they are determined to be of interest to our readership. The journal accepts manuscripts meeting one or more of the following criteria:
Research articles and literature reviews (e.g. systematic, scoping, umbrella, integrative, etc.) about simulation
Innovative teaching/learning strategies using simulation
Articles updating guidelines, regulations, and legislative policies that impact simulation
Leadership for simulation
Simulation operations
Clinical and academic uses of simulation.
