Abstract

Background

Prelicensure nursing students must be able to assess and identify potential harms impacting patient safety. A novel approach for educating students about patient safety and environmental assessment skills before clinical experience was developed using virtual reality.

Method

The course faculty collaborated with instructional technologists over several months to develop the virtual reality activity. A 360° camera was used to film the scenario to help students identify possible patient safety threats in a hospital room.

Results

A post-activity survey was utilized to evaluate students’ experience with the virtual reality activity. About 94.12% of the students rated the virtual reality experience as “excellent.” Qualitative feedback from the students determined that the activity provided a safe environment to learn before interacting with a patient in the clinical setting.

Conclusion

Virtual reality activities provide students with an interactive learning method. It has the ability to enhance student assessment skills necessary for the clinical setting.

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.
