Application of virtual reality technology in clinical internship teaching of thoracic surgery nursing
Objective To explore the application of virtual reality technology(VR)in clinical internship teaching of thoracic surgery nursing.Methods A total of 60 nursing students from colleges and universities interning at Shanghai Pulmonary Hospital affiliated to Tongji University during April to December 2023 were randomly divided into observation group(n=40)and control group(n=20)in a 2∶1 ratio.In addition to observing a 20-min multimedia video of non-invasive positive pressure ventilation nursing,the control group received traditional teaching and 30-min exercises,while the observation group received 30-min VR-based interactive teaching and 30-min targeted exercises.Standardized patients were applied for student assessment,and the scores of the two groups on days 1,8,15,and 29 were compared.At the same time,the students'self-efficacy and self-satisfaction were evaluated,and the number of skill training repetitions and time investment of the teachers from day 15 to 28 were recorded.SPSS 20.0 was used to perform the chi-square test and t-test.Results The standardized patient assessment scores on days 1,8,15,and 29 were(69.14±7.02),(75.22±7.42),(79.14±7.99),and(90.14±8.94)in the observation group,respectively,and were(65.25±6.77),(70.14±6.95),(74.36±7.14),and(82.69±8.85)in the control group,respectively,which were all significantly different between the two groups(P<0.05).The observation group also showed a significantly higher total General Self-Efficacy score[(24.60±3.68)vs.(20.47±3.25),P<0.05]and a significantly higher self-satisfaction score[(6.12±0.70)vs.(5.57±0.65),P<0.05]than the control group.For the teachers,the observation group had a significantly fewer number of training repetitions[(8.14±0.98)vs.(10.25±1.16),P<0.05]and significantly less time invested[(10.28±1.17)vs.(12.14±1.35)h,P<0.05]compared with the control group.Conclusions VR technology can improve the teaching performance,self-efficacy level,and self-satisfaction level for clinical nursing internships,and reduce skill training repetitions and time investment for teachers.
