Abstract

Aim

This study aims to investigate the effects of 3D virtual cadaver dissection practice on learning motivation, academic achievement and self-efficacy in nursing students.

Background

Anatomy is a challenging subject for nursing students due to its vast content that must be learned within a limited timeframe. Visualization-based teaching methods in anatomy education have proven to aid in understanding human structures. The use of 3D virtual cadaver dissection, facilitated by Anatomage, allows for virtual dissections of cadavers from various angles.

Design

A quasi-experimental study using a non-equivalent control group pretest-posttest design.

Methods

Seventy-seven first-year nursing students in an extracurricular program participated (42 experimental, 35 control). The experimental group participated in 3D virtual dissection practice, including the orientation session, once a week for 2 hours over a total of 5 weeks. To assess educational outcomes, surveys measuring learning motivation, academic achievement and self-efficacy were administered to both groups before and after the intervention.

Results

For learning motivation, a statistically significant difference was observed in autonomous motivation (t = 1.68, p = .048), while no significant difference was found in controlled regulation (t = .571, p = .570). Significant differences were observed in academic achievement (t = 3.98, p < .001) and self-efficacy (t = 3.38, p = .001) between the groups.

Conclusion

3D virtual cadaver dissection practice has been demonstrated to be an effective educational method for improving autonomous learning motivation, academic achievement and self-efficacy among first-year nursing students.

三维虚拟尸体实习对护理一年级学生学习动机、学业成绩和自我效能感的影响

目的探讨三维虚拟尸体解剖实习对护理学生学习动机、学业成绩和自我效能感的影响。解剖学对护理专业的学生来说是一门具有挑战性的学科，因为它的内容广泛，必须在有限的时间内学习。解剖学教育中基于可视化的教学方法已被证明有助于理解人体结构。使用三维虚拟尸体解剖，方便解剖，允许从不同角度的尸体的虚拟解剖。设计：准实验研究，采用非等效对照组前测后测设计。方法77名护理专业一年级学生参加课外活动，其中实验组42人，对照组35人。实验组参加三维虚拟解剖练习，包括定向训练，每周1次，每次2 小时，共5周。为了评估教育效果，在干预前后对两组进行了学习动机、学业成就和自我效能感的调查。结果在学习动机方面，自主动机差异有统计学意义（t = 1.68,p = .048），而控制调节动机差异无统计学意义（t = ）。571年,p = .570)。两组在学业成绩（t = 3.98,p <； .001）和自我效能（t = 3.38,p = .001）上差异有统计学意义。结论三维虚拟尸体解剖实践是提高大一护理学生自主学习动机、学习成绩和自我效能感的有效教学方法。

期刊介绍： Nurse Education in Practice enables lecturers and practitioners to both share and disseminate evidence that demonstrates the actual practice of education as it is experienced in the realities of their respective work environments. It is supportive of new authors and will be at the forefront in publishing individual and collaborative papers that demonstrate the link between education and practice.
