Abstract

Today, the use of virtual reality technology in nursing education is becoming widespread and this application has positive effects. To determine the effect of the use of virtual reality in teaching basic nursing skills on students’ cognitive, affective and psychomotor skills. In the study, “Cochrane”, “EBSCOhost”, “PubMed”, “Ulakbim”, “Medline”, “CIHANL”, “JBI”, “Scopus”, “Science Direct” and “Google Scholar” databases were searched. While searching the databases, the keywords “nurse education, virtual reality, virtual reality simulation, basic nursing skills, nursing students, skills training, knowledge level, affective level, psychomotor skill level” were used. The number of studies found as a result of the search was categorized according to the databases and shown in the PRISMA-P flowchart. Quality assessments of the studies were made using the Joanna Briggs Institute checklists. PROSPERO recording number is CRD4202340107. In this study, the literature review was conducted between January 24, 2023-August 4, 2023.In the study, 14 studies that met the inclusion criteria were analyzed. It was found that 10 studies were randomized controlled experimental and four studies were quasi-experimental. Most of the studies were conducted in Turkey, Canada and Taiwan respectively and the total sample size was 970. The quality assessment scores of the studies were found to be at a high level. It was concluded that the use of virtual reality has a positive effect on the cognitive, affective and psychomotor skills of students in nursing education, increases the permanence of knowledge and increases the skill performance of students.

Özet

Günümüzde sanal gerçeklik teknolojisinin hemşirelik eğitiminde kullanımı yaygınlaşmakta ve bu uygulamanın olumlu etkileri bulunmaktadır. Temel hemşirelik becerilerinin öğretiminde sanal gerçeklik kullanımının öğrencilerin bilişsel, duyuşsal ve psikomotor becerileri üzerine etkisini belirlemektir. Araştırmada “Cochrane”, “EBSCOhost”, “PubMed”, “Ulakbim”, “Medline”, “CIHANL”, “JBI”, ‘Scopus’, “Science Direct” ve “Google Scholar” veri tabanları tarandı. Veri tabanları taranırken “hemşire eğitimi, sanal gerçeklik, sanal gerçeklik simülasyonu, temel hemşirelik becerileri, hemşirelik öğrencileri, beceri eğitimi, bilgi düzeyi, duyuşsal düzey, psikomotor beceri düzeyi” anahtar kelimeleri kullanılmıştır. Tarama sonucunda bulunan çalışma sayıları veri tabanlarına göre kategorize edilerek PRISMA-P akış şemasında gösterilmiştir. Çalışmaların kalite değerlendirmeleri Joanna Briggs Enstitüsü kontrol listeleri kullanılarak yapılmıştır. PROSPERO kayıt numarası CRD4202340107’dir. Bu çalışmada, literatür taraması 24 Ocak 2023 ile 4 Ağustos 2023 tarihleri arasında gerçekleştirilmiştir. Çalışmada, dahil edilme kriterlerini karşılayan 14 çalışma analiz edilmiştir. Çalışmaların 10’unun randomize kontrollü deneysel, dördünün ise yarı deneysel olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Çalışmaların çoğu sırasıyla Türkiye, Kanada ve Tayvan’da yapılmıştır ve toplam örneklem büyüklüğü 970’tir. Çalışmaların kalite değerlendirme puanları yüksek düzeyde bulunmuştur. Sanal gerçeklik kullanımının öğrencilerin bilişsel, duyuşsal ve psikomotor becerileri üzerinde olumlu bir etkisi olduğu sonucuna varılmıştır.
