Abstract
Abstract: The aim of the study was to compare the impact of a virtual simulation game to a poverty live interactive simulation with regard to perceptions of poverty. An interprofessional sample of pharmacy and nursing students completed pre/post surveys with 13 questions (total possible score: 39); the 395 responses were analyzed using a two-way analysis of variance and descriptive statistics. The virtual group had a score improvement of 3.17 points; the live simulation group improved by 3.52 points (both statistically significant). Both experiences positively impacted students and provided similar impact. Consideration of resources can determine the best modality for future use.
期刊介绍:
A publication of the National League for Nursing, Nursing Education Perspectives is a peer-reviewed, bimonthly journal that provides evidence for best practices in nursing education. Through the publication of rigorously designed studies, the journal contributes to the advancement of the science of nursing education. It serves as a forum for research and innovation regarding teaching and learning, curricula, technology, and other issues important to nursing education. Today, as nurse educators strive to advance research in nursing education and break away from established patterns and chart new pathways in nursing education, Nursing Education Perspectives is a vital resource. Nursing Education Perspectives is housed in the NLN Chamberlain College of Nursing for the Advancement of the Science of Nursing Education.
