The virtual reality embedded instructor: Transforming nursing education one innovation at a time
Background
Virtual reality simulations (VRS) in nursing education typically promote independent learning with limited faculty involvement. This study investigated how embedding clinical instructors within VR environments influences nursing learners' experiences.
Methods
This descriptive qualitative study implemented a novel Virtual Reality Simulation Embedded Instructor Model with junior nursing students (n = 213) across two semesters. Learners participated in a chest pain emergency department simulation with instructors present virtually. Data collection utilized the validated Simulation Effectiveness Tool-Modified (SET-M) questionnaire and qualitative feedback.
Results
Most learners reported increased confidence (76.6%) and better preparation for patient condition changes (90.7%) following VR simulation. The spring 2025 cohort showed improvement over the Fall 2024 cohort after prebriefing modifications. Qualitative feedback revealed that learners valued instructor presence for immediate feedback, guidance, and critical thinking prompts. Debriefing sessions were highly rated (93.9%) for contributing to learning.
Conclusion
The VRS Embedded Instructor Model effectively enhanced learner confidence, preparedness, and clinical judgment. Despite resource intensity, embedding instructors in virtual environments provides essential guidance that mirrors real-world clinical practice, addressing limitations of traditional VR implementations in nursing education.
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.
