Abstract

This study investigates the integration of Virtual Reality Simulation (VRS) in undergraduate mental health nursing education. Utilizing SPSS, data from Qualtrics were analyzed for reliability and research questions. Results demonstrate that VRS significantly enhances students' self-efficacy, clinical judgment, and therapeutic communication skills. Over 88 % of students reported increased confidence and learning, while 90 % found debriefing sessions valuable. However, the limited diversity of the sample suggests the need for broader research to generalize findings. The study underscores VRS as a transformative tool in nursing education, fostering a workforce equipped for complex psychiatric care.

通过虚拟现实模拟加强心理健康护理教育：以双相情感障碍为重点

本研究旨在探讨虚拟现实仿真（VRS）在大学生心理健康护理教育中的整合。利用SPSS对qualics的数据进行可靠性分析和研究问题分析。结果表明，VRS显著提高了学生的自我效能感、临床判断能力和治疗沟通能力。超过88%的学生表示自信心和学习能力都有所提高，而90%的学生认为汇报会议很有价值。然而，样本的有限多样性表明需要更广泛的研究来概括研究结果。该研究强调VRS是护理教育的变革工具，培养了一支具备复杂精神病学护理能力的劳动力队伍。
