Abstract

Background

Virtual reality is an emerging technology for nursing education. This technology can provide visual, motor, and auditory immersion into a virtual environment, thereby mimicking reality. Virtual reality may be an effective pedagogical tool for nursing educators to meet the learning needs of nursing students.

Objective

The aim of this scoping review was to map the existing literature on the use of immersive virtual reality implemented within nursing education programs with nursing students.

Design

Scoping review following established methodology.

Data sources

A database search of ERIC (OVID), Medline (OVID), PubMed, Web of Science, and CINAHL Plus with Full Text, and Nursing and Allied Health Database. Records published between January 2010 and August 2022.

Review methods

Two reviewers independently screened titles and abstracts of 2115 articles. Fourteen articles were included in this scoping review.

Results

Five major themes were identified in the thematic analysis: Self-confidence, Skill acquisition, Improved learning outcomes, Perspective taking, and Promoting engagement. Immersive virtual reality is being utilized in a variety of clinical settings and with different intended purposes. Most virtual reality research is focused on end-user satisfaction and perceptions of usability.

Conclusions

This scoping review provides a comprehensive understanding of the use of immersive virtual reality within nursing education. There is a range of definitions of virtual reality utilized within nursing literature. Further research is necessary to study this growing area of technology for nursing education.

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.
