Abstract
Abstract: Utilizing Healthcare Simulation Standards of Best Practice™, a virtual reality (VR) platform was created to meet American Association of Colleges of Nursing Essential and Quad Council Public Health competencies. The scenario, involving major depressive disorder with suicidal ideation and alcohol dependency, engages learners in assessing suicide risk, recognizing symptoms, and recommending treatment. Eighty-four prelicensure nursing students have taken part in this mental health VR simulation since spring 2023. Although no significant difference was observed between pre-post knowledge, learners appreciated the VR experience. Student ratings were lowest for how physically demanding the task was and highest for their focus and interest in successfully doing the simulation.
摘要:利用《医疗保健模拟最佳实践标准》(Healthcare Simulation Standards of Best Practice™),创建了一个虚拟现实(VR)平台,以满足美国护理学院协会(American Association of Colleges of Nursing Essential)和四方理事会(Quad Council Public Health)的能力要求。该情景模拟涉及重度抑郁障碍伴自杀倾向和酒精依赖,让学习者参与评估自杀风险、识别症状并提出治疗建议。自 2023 年春季以来,已有 84 名护士执照考前培训学生参加了这一心理健康 VR 模拟课程。虽然前后知识没有明显差异,但学生们对 VR 体验表示赞赏。学生对任务对体力的要求最低,而对成功完成模拟任务的专注度和兴趣评分最高。
期刊介绍:
A publication of the National League for Nursing, Nursing Education Perspectives is a peer-reviewed, bimonthly journal that provides evidence for best practices in nursing education. Through the publication of rigorously designed studies, the journal contributes to the advancement of the science of nursing education. It serves as a forum for research and innovation regarding teaching and learning, curricula, technology, and other issues important to nursing education. Today, as nurse educators strive to advance research in nursing education and break away from established patterns and chart new pathways in nursing education, Nursing Education Perspectives is a vital resource. Nursing Education Perspectives is housed in the NLN Chamberlain College of Nursing for the Advancement of the Science of Nursing Education.
