Abstract

Background: In the era of the fourth industrial revolution, there is a requirement of innovative strategies to enhance nursing students' learning transfer. Virtual Reality Simulation Problem-Based Learning (VRS-PBL) has been validated to be an advantageous strategy that can improve knowledge, clinical performance, and self-efficacy. We aimed to identify the effectiveness of VRS-PBL for improving nursing students' neurologic examination.

Methods: Data were collected in 2021. Seventy-six participants were recruited via the convenience sampling. Students in the control group underwent conventional lecture and demonstration of neurological assessment prior to practicum, whereas students in the experimental group underwent VRS-PBL once a week for 2 weeks (60 minutes per session).

Results: Compared with the control group, the academic self-efficacy (t = -2.80, P = .007) and neurological examination performance (t = -11.62, P < .001) of the nursing students increased significantly in the experimental group. On the other hand, there was no significant difference between the two groups of the transfer motivation (t = -1.76, P = .082).

Conclusion: The nursing students integrated the knowledge and skills learned through VRS-PBL, and improved the effectiveness and efficiency of their learning. VRS-PBL that reflects various clinical situations can be used as a foundation for establishing effective teaching strategies to improve nursing competency from novice to expert nurses.

虚拟现实模拟的评估，以改善护理专业学生神经检查中基于问题的学习。

背景：在第四次工业革命时代，需要创新策略来提高护生的学习迁移能力。基于问题的虚拟现实模拟学习（VRS-PBL）已被证明是一种有利于提高知识、临床表现和自我效能的策略。我们旨在确定VRS-PBL在改善护理专业学生神经检查方面的有效性。方法：数据收集于2021年。76名参与者是通过方便抽样招募的。对照组的学生在实习前接受了常规的神经评估讲座和演示，而实验组的学生每周接受一次VRS-PBL，为期2周（每次60分钟）。结果：与对照组相比，实验组护生的学业自我效能感（t=-2.80，P=0.007）和神经系统检查成绩（t=-11.62，P<.001）显著提高。另一方面，两组学生的迁移动机没有显著差异（t=-1.76，P=.082）。结论：护生通过VRS-PBL整合了所学知识和技能，提高了学习的有效性和效率。VRS-PBL反映了各种临床情况，可以作为制定有效教学策略的基础，从新手护士到专家护士，提高护理能力。

期刊介绍： Iranian Journal of Public Health has been continuously published since 1971, as the only Journal in all health domains, with wide distribution (including WHO in Geneva and Cairo) in two languages (English and Persian). From 2001 issue, the Journal is published only in English language. During the last 41 years more than 2000 scientific research papers, results of health activities, surveys and services, have been published in this Journal. To meet the increasing demand of respected researchers, as of January 2012, the Journal is published monthly. I wish this will assist to promote the level of global knowledge. The main topics that the Journal would welcome are: Bioethics, Disaster and Health, Entomology, Epidemiology, Health and Environment, Health Economics, Health Services, Immunology, Medical Genetics, Mental Health, Microbiology, Nutrition and Food Safety, Occupational Health, Oral Health. We would be very delighted to receive your Original papers, Review Articles, Short communications, Case reports and Scientific Letters to the Editor on the above mentioned research areas.
