Abstract

Background

The new AACN Essentials calls for schools to develop students’ clinical judgment to be prepared for practice. Using immersive virtual reality (IVR) in didactic courses offers students opportunities outside of the simulation center to develop their clinical judgment.

Sample

Sixty-one prelicensure students enrolled in an accelerated Master of Nursing program.

Method

The authors implemented an IVR scenario with Debriefing for Meaningful Learning (DML), supported by the Clinical Judgment Measurement Model (CJMM), in a didactic course. A pre- and post-test design was used to evaluate student confidence related to clinical judgment. Mental workload, usability of the technology, and student impressions were evaluated.

Results

Students reported increased confidence in clinical judgment and providing care. Students perceived a high level of mental workload and low usability with IVR.

Conclusion

IVR with DML debriefing, supported by the CJMM in a didactic course, positively impacted student confidence in clinical judgment and providing care.

沉浸式虚拟现实在护理教学课程中的应用：将患者带入课堂，培养临床判断能力

新的AACN要点呼吁学校培养学生的临床判断能力，为实践做好准备。在教学课程中使用沉浸式虚拟现实（IVR）为学生提供了在模拟中心之外发展临床判断的机会。样本：61名预科学生参加了护理硕士速成课程。方法采用临床判断测量模型（CJMM）支持的有意义学习汇报（Debriefing for Meaningful Learning， DML）的IVR教学场景。采用测试前和测试后的设计来评估学生对临床判断的信心。心理负荷，技术的可用性和学生的印象进行了评估。结果学生报告对临床判断和提供护理的信心增加。学生们认为IVR的心理负荷较高，可用性较低。结论在教学过程中，在CJMM的支持下，有DML汇报的ivr对学生临床判断和提供护理的信心有积极的影响。

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.
