“…Further, participants reported that the detailed personalized feedback log and guided reflection questions in VS helped them to evaluate their knowledge level and to reflect on their strengths and areas in which they needed improvement. This finding supports the assertion by Coyne et al (2020) that virtual simulation should incorporate reflection, and it underscores the importance of providing opportunities for nursing students to self-evaluate. Participants preferred to receive feedback from the instructor as well as a debriefing session with the instructor and their peers, supporting the finding by Verkuyl et al (2017) that debriefing is an essential component of simulation-based learning.…”

Background This study aimed to understand pre-licensure nursing students’ perceptions and experiences of using virtual simulation as an alternative to clinical practice during the coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic in South Korea. Methods A total of 20 students from a 4-year baccalaureate nursing program participated in this descriptive qualitative study. Six focus group interviews using Zoom video communications were conducted with three to four participants to understand their experiences. Data were analyzed using an inductive content analysis approach. Results The following three major themes emerged: (a) difficulties encountered in using virtual simulation, (b) benefits to student confidence and competence to provide patient-centered care, and (c) gaps in satisfaction due to needed improvements. Conclusion Virtual simulation could be beneficial for improving pre-licensure nursing students’ confidence and competence; however, improvements to virtual simulation realism and engagement are needed to maximize user satisfaction and performance.

“…Aktuelle Übersichtsarbeiten zeigen, dass es sich bei den in der Pflegebildung verwendeten VR überwiegend um Trainingsumgebungen handelt, in denen klinische Szenarien (Arbeitsprozesse oder Handlungen) simuliert werden (Liaw et al 2018, Weiß et al 2018, Bracq et al 2018, Fealy et al 2019, Kyaw et al 2019, Zhang et al 2019, Foronda et al 2020, Rourke et al 2020, Chen et al 2020, Coyne et al 2021…”

Maria Montessori, Begründerin des heute wohl bedeutendsten Ansatzes der Reformpädagogik, legte in ihrem Schaffen großen Wert darauf, Kinder in ihrem un- bändigen Forschungsdrang zu unterstützen und so den natürlichen Lernprozess nicht zu behindern. Dass Lernen keineswegs mit dem Schulabschluss endet, sondern vielmehr ein Leben lang stattfindet ist mittlerweile beinahe ein Gemeinplatz. Obschon es heute sowohl andragogische, als auch geragogische Konzepte des Lernens in der Tradition Montessoris gibt, ist ein Abschnitt immer noch unterrepräsentiert: die Berufsaus- bildung. In einer systematischen Literaturrecherche wurde ermittelt, ob es derzeit Vorschläge oder Ansätze einer derartigen Berufs- schulausbildung gibt. Es geht da- bei nicht um Einzelinterventionen nach dem reformpädagogischen Vorbild im Setting einer konventionellen Schule, sondern um eine Integration der Montessoripädagogik in die ganzheitliche Schulentwicklung, wie sie beispielsweise H.-G. Rolff vorgibt. Als Ergebnis haben sich zwei Quellen identifizieren lassen, die einmal die Berufsbildung im Allge- meinen, sowie die Pflegeausbildung im Besonderen nach Montessori-Methoden skizzieren. Bei beiden Quellen handelt es sich um sehr grobe und rein hypothetische Ansätze. Ein Hinweis auf die derzeitige tatsächliche Umsetzung konnte nicht gefunden werden.

“…Virtual simulation uses virtual patients in dynamic and immersive clinical environments, ranging from prehospital to community environments [ 20 ]. The latest technological advances in virtual simulation have improved their authenticity and dynamic interaction, and it is possible to display thousands of clinical situations on a touch screen or on the web [ 21 , 22 ]. However, little is known about their effect on students’ learning satisfaction, self-efficacy, knowledge retention, and clinical reasoning, especially when using the latest developments in virtual simulation [ 21 ].…”

Background Diabetes has placed heavy social and economic burdens on society and families worldwide. Insufficient knowledge and training of frontline medical staff, such as nurses, interns, and residents, may lead to an increase in acute and chronic complications among patients with diabetes. However, interns have insufficient knowledge about diabetes management. The factors that affect interns’ current level of diabetes-related knowledge are still unclear. Therefore, understanding the behavioral intentions of interns is essential to supporting the development and promotion of the use of virtual simulation teaching applications. Objective This study aimed to identify the determinants of nursing interns’ intentions to use simulation-based education applications. Methods From December 1, 2020, to February 28, 2021, the web-based survey tool Sojump (Changsha Xingxin Information Technology Co) was used to survey nursing interns in hospitals across China. Two survey links were sent to 37 partner schools in 23 major cities in China, and they were disseminated through participants’ WeChat networks. Multiple regression analysis was used to determine the association between demographic information and basic disease information and the use of the application for treating adult patients. Results Overall, 883 nursing interns from 23 provinces in China responded to the survey. Among them, the virtual simulation utilization rate was 35.6% (314/883) and the awareness rate was 10.2% (90/883). In addition, among the interns, only 10.2% (90/883) correctly understood the concept of virtual simulation, and most of them (793/883, 89.8%) believed that scenario-simulation training or the use of models for teaching are all the same. Multiple regression analysis showed that the educational level, independent learning ability, and professional identity of the interns were related to use of the application (P<.05). Skills and knowledge that the interns most wanted to acquire included the treatment of hypoglycemia (626/883, 70.9%), functional test simulation (610/883, 69.1%), and blood glucose monitoring technology (485/883, 54.9%). A total of 60.5% (534/883) of the interns wanted to acquire clinical thinking skills, while 16.0% (141/883) wanted to acquire operational skills. Nursing trainees believed that the greatest obstacles to virtual simulation included limited time (280/883, 31.7%), the degree of simulation (129/883, 14.6%), the demand for satisfaction (108/883, 12.2%), and test scores (66/883, 7.5%). Conclusions The understanding and usage rate of diabetes virtual simulation teaching applications by Chinese nursing interns is very low. However, they have high requirements regarding this teaching method. Conducting high-quality randomized controlled trials and designing applications that are suitable for the needs of different nurse trainees will increase students’ interest in learning and help improve diabetes knowledge among nursing interns.
