Abstract

Background

Nursing applicants need realistic information about the nursing profession to make an informed career choice.

Aim

to develop the 360°VLE (Virtual Learning Environment) and evaluate its effect on nursing applicants’ perception of the nursing profession.

Methods

The quasi-experimental intervention (360°VLE) study was implemented as part of the nursing education entrance examination. Before the entrance examination, nursing applicants (n = 1115) in the intervention (n = 450) and control group (n = 665) received entrance exam invitation letters with and without an access link to the platform, respectively. The applicants’ perception of the nursing profession was measured using the Perception of Nursing Profession Instrument. Data were analyzed with multiple linear regression.

Results

The use of 360°VLE has a significant effect on nursing education applicants’ perception of the nursing profession. In addition, having a previous healthcare-related work history and seeking information about the profession from nurses are significantly correlated with more correct perception of the profession.

Conclusions

360°VLE is a viable solution for improving nursing applicants’ perception of the nursing profession.

通过360°虚拟学习环境促进对护理专业的正确认知

护理申请者需要关于护理专业的真实信息来做出明智的职业选择。目的：开发360°虚拟学习环境（VLE），并评估其对护理申请者对护理专业认知的影响。方法将准实验干预（360°VLE）作为护理教育入学考试的一部分进行研究。入学考试前，干预组（n = 450）和对照组（n = 665）的护理申请者（n = 1115）分别收到了带平台访问链接和不带平台访问链接的入学考试邀请函。使用护理专业感知量表测量申请人对护理专业的感知。数据采用多元线性回归分析。结果360°VLE的使用对护理教育申请人对护理专业的认知有显著影响。此外，有医疗保健相关工作经历和从护士那里寻求专业信息与更正确的专业认知显著相关。结论360°VLE是提高护理申请人对护理专业认知的可行方案。
