Abstract

Aims: This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy, attitude, and level of confidence among nursing students as scrub nurses in a perioperative environment via virtual-reality simulation.

Background: The advantages of virtual reality have been demonstrated to provide a safe and effective mechanism to educate and evaluate students' performances, but the use of virtual reality in perioperative nursing remained limited.

Methods: Nineteen sessions were conducted in a room equipped with virtual-reality headsets and two touch controllers. The surgical workflow of a scrub nurse was developed based on qualitative perspectives from nursing faculties and hospital clinicians working in operating theaters. A survey on the efficacy, attitude, and level of confidence among the participants was conducted after the virtual-reality simulation.

Results: Two hundred and seven nursing students due for their clinical posting in operating theaters completed the evaluation. More than 90% of them indicated "neutral" and above in terms of efficacy, attitude, and confidence level with Cronbach's α values exceeding .90.

Conclusions: Virtual reality offers promising potential as an alternative clinical experience to physical simulation for nursing students to increase their efficacy, attitude, and level of confidence as scrub nurses in a perioperative environment through a standardized scenario-based digital environment.

利用虚拟现实模拟评估护生围手术期的有效性、态度和信心水平。

目的:本研究旨在透过虚拟实境模拟，评估护生在围手术期环境中担任清洁护士的效能、态度及信心水平。背景:虚拟现实技术的优势已被证明可以提供一种安全有效的机制来教育和评估学生的表现，但虚拟现实技术在围手术期护理中的应用仍然有限。方法:在配备虚拟现实耳机和两个触摸控制器的房间内进行19次会话。从护理学院和在手术室工作的医院临床医生的定性观点出发，制定了一名擦洗护士的手术工作流程。在虚拟现实模拟后，对参与者的效能、态度和信心水平进行了调查。结果:207名即将到手术室实习的护生完成了评估。在效能、态度、置信度等方面，90%以上的患者表现为“中性”及以上，Cronbach’s α值大于0.90。结论:虚拟现实为护生提供了一种替代物理模拟的临床体验，通过标准化的基于场景的数字环境，可以提高他们作为围手术期护理人员的效率、态度和信心水平。

期刊介绍： Nursing Forum is a peer-reviewed quarterly journal that invites original manuscripts that explore, explicate or report issues, ideas, trends and innovations that shape the nursing profession. Research manuscripts should emphasize the implications rather than the methods or analysis. Quality improvement manuscripts should emphasize the outcomes and follow the SQUIRE Guidelines in creating the manuscript. Evidence-based manuscripts should emphasize the findings and implications for practice and follow PICOT format. Concept analysis manuscripts should emphasize the evidence for support of the concept and follow an accepted format for such analyses.
