Abstract

Background: Virtual mock interviews were offered to students to improve job interviewing skills. This educational quality improvement project aimed to use virtual mock interviews to increase student preparedness and confidence, and reduce anxiety related to professional interviews.

Method: Health professions students (n = 19) participated in the mock interviews conducted and recorded through a web-based meeting. Students received the recorded interview to watch before follow-up. Students completed pre- and postquestionnaires that addressed students' preparedness, confidence, and anxiety related to interviewing.

Results: Participants' confidence and preparedness improved significantly in their virtual interviews (p < .001), and their anxiety decreased significantly after the virtual interviews (p < .001). After watching the interviews, students' reported eye contact needed improvement and answers included too many "uhms."

Conclusion: Students benefited from the virtual mock interviews. Mock virtual job interviews may have a positive effect on successful job acquisition in health professions. [J Nurs Educ. 2023;62(8):479-482.].

评价卫生专业学生虚拟模拟面试的有效性。

背景:通过对学生进行虚拟模拟面试，提高学生的求职面试技巧。这个教育质量改善项目旨在利用虚拟模拟面试来提高学生的准备和信心，并减少与专业面试相关的焦虑。方法:19名卫生专业学生参加了通过网络会议进行和记录的模拟面试。在跟进之前，学生们接受了录制的采访。学生们完成了问卷前和问卷后，以解决学生对面试的准备，信心和焦虑。结果:虚拟面试后，被试的自信心和准备程度显著提高(p < 0.001)，焦虑程度显著降低(p < 0.001)。在看完面试后，学生们的眼神交流需要改进，回答中包含了太多的“嗯”。结论:学生们从虚拟模拟面试中受益。模拟虚拟面试可能对卫生专业人员成功求职有积极影响。[J].中国生物医学工程学报，2009;31(8):479-482。
