The Effects of a Virtual Simulation-Based Learning Management Program on Virtual Simulation Learning Skills and Nursing Process Skills among Nursing Students

This quasi-experimental one-group pretest-posttest study aimed to compare nursing students' virtual simulation learning skills and nursing process skills before and after receiving the virtual simulation-based learning management program. A simple random sampling method was used to recruit the sample of 60 second-year nursing students enrolled at a university in Bangkok. Research instruments included: (1) a virtual simulation-based learning management program, (2) a virtual simulation learning skill assessment tool, and (3) a nursing process skill assessment tool. The content validity indices of the tools were .92 and .95, respectively, with reliability coefficients of .92 and .93. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and paired t-tests.
The results showed that, after participating in the virtual simulation-based learning program, students had significantly higher scores in virtual simulation learning skills compared to before the intervention (t = 6.70, p < .05), and significantly higher scores in nursing process skills (t = 11.76, p < .05).
These findings suggest that nursing institutes can apply the virtual simulation-based learning management program as a preparatory approach prior to clinical nursing laboratory practice.
