Abstract

Background: Asthma is a major chronic disease affecting 8.6% of children in the United States.

Objective: The purpose of this research was to assess the use of clinical simulation scenarios using augmented reality technology to evaluate learning outcomes for nurse practitioner students studying pediatric asthma management.

Methods: A mixed-methods pilot study was conducted with 2 cohorts of graduate pediatric nurse practitioner students (N=21), with each cohort participating for 2 semesters.

Results: Significant improvements in pediatric asthma test scores (P<.001) of student learning were found in both cohorts at posttest in both semesters. Student satisfaction with the augmented reality technology was found to be high. The focus group discussions revealed that the simulation was realistic and helpful for a flipped classroom approach.

Conclusions: The study results suggest augmented reality simulation to be valuable in teaching pediatric asthma management content in graduate nursing education.

增强现实技术作为学习儿童哮喘管理的教学策略:混合方法研究。

背景:哮喘是影响美国8.6%儿童的主要慢性疾病。目的:本研究的目的是评估使用临床模拟场景使用增强现实技术来评估学习儿科哮喘管理的护士执业学生的学习成果。方法:采用混合方法对2组儿科执业护士研究生(N=21)进行初步研究，每组参加2个学期。结果:儿童哮喘测试成绩有显著提高(p)。结论:研究结果提示增强现实模拟在研究生护理教育中教授儿童哮喘管理内容有一定的价值。
