Study on the Development and Effects of A VR Educational Content for Nursing of Patients with Multiple Trauma

Abstract

Nursing patients with multiple trauma requires competencies that can be earned from proper educational methods. This study is geared to use educational media to produce better effects on learning flow among nursing students. Therefore, this study developed a Virtual Reality (VR) educational content, which will create a simulation on nursing patients with multiple trauma and evaluated its effects to the users.This is an after only nonequivalent control group quasi-experimental study. First, the VR educational content on nursing patients with multiple trauma was developed based on ADDIE. Second, about 30minute program of the VR content was given to the experimental group while prints on multiple trauma situations were given to the control group. This study used SPSS 22.0 for Windows to analysis the data collected.The VR program developed in this study enhanced the competency on nursing patients with multiple trauma. However, it did not enhance the learning flow and knowledge on nursing trauma patients. Considering educational content, a visual limit of the existing simulation learning was supplemented. This study developed a VR educational content program on emergency service for patients with multiple trauma and assessed possibility and effects of the VR education, which is the first in Korea.
