摘要
Background: Advancements in virtual reality simulation hold promise for new instructional strategies for basic nursing skills. Method: Virtual reality simulation was designed to support Foley catheter skill proficiency in students with an associate's degree in nursing. An after-only experimental design was used to evaluate skill performance scores, perceived preparation, and practice time in minutes. Results: Independent-samples t test revealed no statistically significant differences between the experimental and control groups; however, mean differences revealed positive trends. Conclusion: Findings from this study support use of virtual reality simulation as a supplemental tool for teaching students critical steps in clinical skills such as the insertion of a Foley catheter.
