Abstract
Background
Management of the airway is a fundamental competency that nursing students should have. There is a lack of studies examining the effect of virtual reality airway management in Arab countries including Palestine. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the effect of virtual reality airway management as a learning strategy on emotional intelligence, self-efficacy, and performance among nursing students in the West Bank/Palestine.
Methods
A pre–post-test control group design was used and 190 participants were randomly selected from (Arab American University) and categorized into experimental group (n = 95) and control group (n = 95). The experimental group received virtual reality airway management and the control group received traditional learning. The study was achieved during the time from October 2023 to December 2023.
Results
There were differences between the 2 groups after intervention in performance, self-efficacy, and emotional intelligence (p < 0.01), indicating the experimental group had higher mean scores in the aforementioned variables compared to the control group.
Conclusions
Virtual reality experiences could be a supplement to traditional learning and integrated as a teaching strategy in nursing curricula.
