Abstract EN
The use of simulation in the undergraduate nursing curriculum is gaining popularity and is becoming a foundation of many nursing programs.
The purpose of this paper is to highlight a new simulation teaching strategy, virtual reality (VR) simulation, which capitalizes on the technological skills of the new generation student.
This small-scale pilot study focused on improving interpersonal skills in senior level nursing students using VR simulation.
In this study, a repeated-measure design was used to evaluate the effectiveness of VR simulation on improving student’s performance over a series of two VR scenarios.
Using the Emergency Medicine Crisis Resource Management (EMCRM) tool, student performance was evaluated.
Overall, the total EMCRM score improved but not significantly.
The subscale areas of communication (P=.047, 95% CI:−1.06,−.007) and professional behavior (P=.003, 95% CI:−1.12,−.303) did show a significant improvement between the two scenario exposures.
Findings from this study show the potential for virtual reality simulations to have an impact on nursing student performance.
