The Integration of Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) Technologies in Nursing Simulation: Challenges for Nursing Education
Keywords:
Simulation, Nursing Education, Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality, Educational InnovationAbstract
This academic article presents the integration of Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) technologies in nursing simulation. It specifically investigates the potential, challenges, and forthcoming developments associated with the utilization of these technologies in nursing education. The article discusses the fundamental principles of VR and AR, their use in nursing simulation, strategies for incorporating them into nursing curricula, impacts on leaning, limitations, current innovations, case studies, evaluation methods, and recommendations for implementation and future research. The study demonstrates that VR and AR possess significant potential for enhancing critical thinking skills, clinical decision-making abilities, and self-assurance among nursing students. However, there are still challenges regarding costs, instructor training, and ethical issues that need consideration. The article highlights that integrating VR and AR in nursing simulation has high potential to revolutionize teaching methods, but careful planning, continuous development, and in-depth research are necessary to maximize the benefits for nursing students' learning.
