Chan K, Kor PPK, Liu JYW, Cheung K, Lai T, Kwan RYC. The Use of Immersive Virtual Reality Training for Developing Nontechnical Skills Among Nursing Students: Multimethods Study. Asian Pac Isl Nurs J 2024; 8:e58818. [PMID: 38986130 PMCID: PMC11269964 DOI: 10.2196/58818] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/26/2024] [Revised: 06/03/2024] [Accepted: 06/10/2024] [Indexed: 07/12/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Immersive virtual reality (IVR) is a niche technology rising in popularity in nursing education. Although there is an abundance of evidence to demonstrate the effect of virtual reality (VR) on desired learning outcomes, this evidence is limited to technical or procedural skills or managing a single patient with clinical problems. Nontechnical skills (NTS), such as communication, decision-making, teamwork, situation awareness, and managerial skills, have not been explored using IVR technology. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to (1) investigate the potential efficacy of the IVR system virtual reality hospital (VR-Hospital, or VR-Hosp), a single-user game we developed, on nursing students' NTS, sense of presence in the virtual clinical environment, and satisfaction and self-confidence in learning; (2) identify variables that predict NTS; and (3) explore students' experience in using VR-Hosp. METHODS A multimethods design with a quantitative and qualitative approach was adopted. Participants were provided with VR-Hosp with 3 scenarios in training. VR-Hosp adopted a multibed, multipatient, multitask approach and was embedded with various clinical situations. Learning outcomes were measured after the training, followed by group interviews. RESULTS In total, 202 students joined the study. Results revealed high levels of satisfaction and self-confidence in learning. Significant achievement in NTS was perceived by the students. The levels of satisfaction and self-confidence in learning and the involvement and sensory fidelity domains in the sense of presence were positive predictors of NTS. CONCLUSIONS The promising results offer a basis for designing IVR activities for nursing education. Further investigations are imperative to determine the impact of IVR technology on learning outcomes in clinical practice.

[PMID: 38391099 PMCID: PMC10847623 DOI: 10.1002/nop2.2108] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/16/2023] [Revised: 12/25/2023] [Accepted: 01/11/2024] [Indexed: 02/24/2024] Open
Abstract
AIMS To map the themes and methods of nursing researches involving eye-tracking as a measurement, and offer suggestion for future nursing research using eye-tracking. DESIGN We conducted a scoping review following the methodology outlined in the JBI Manual for Evidence Synthesis on scoping reviews. METHODS Eligibility criteria were established based on Population (involving nursing or nursing students), Concept (utilizing eye-tracking as a research method), and Context (in any setting). Articles were retrieved from the PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, CINAHL, APA PsycInfo, and Scopus databases, spanning from database inception to November 17, 2023. The included studies were analysed using descriptive statistics and content analysis. RESULTS After duplicates were removed, 815 citations were identified from searches of electronic databases and other resources, and 66 met the inclusion criteria finally. Thirty-eight studies were conducted in a simulated environment. Five application domains were identified, and most of the studies (N = 50) were observational. The domains found in our review did not cover all topics of nursing research in the same depth. Additionally, 39 studies did not solely explicate eye-tracking data but instead integrated behavioural measures, scales/questionnaires, or other physiological data. CONCLUSIONS Eye-tracking emerges as a significant research tool in uncovering visual behaviour, particularly in nursing research focused on nursing education. This study not only summarized the application and interpretation of eye-tracking data but also recognized its potential in advancing clinical nursing research and practice. To effectively harness the capabilities of eye-tracking in elucidating cognitive processes, future research should aim for a clearer grasp of the theoretical underpinnings of the addressed research problems and methodological choices. It is crucial to emphasize the standardization of eye-tracking method reporting and ensuring data quality. No Patient or Public Contribution.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Live simulation-based activities are effective tools in teaching situational awareness to improve patient safety training in healthcare settings. The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic forced the discontinuation of these in-person sessions. We describe our solution to this challenge: an online interactive activity titled the "Virtual Room of Errors." The aim of this activity is to create an accessible and feasible method of educating healthcare providers about situational awareness in the hospital. Materials and Methods: We applied existing three-dimensional virtual tour technology used in the real estate sector to a hospital patient room with a standardized patient and 46 intentionally placed hazards. Healthcare providers and students from our institution accessed the room online through a link where they independently navigate, and document observed safety hazards. Results: In 2021 and 2022, a total of 510 learners completed the virtual Room of Errors (ROE). The virtual ROE increased annual participation in the activity, as compared to the in-person Room, and demonstrated learner satisfaction. Conclusions: The virtual ROE is an accessible, feasible, and cost-effective method of educating healthcare workers on situational awareness of preventable hazards. Furthermore, the activity is a sustainable way to reach a larger number of learners from multiple disciplines, even as in-person activities resume.

Abstract
PURPOSE To meet the urgent and massive training needs of healthcare professionals, the use of digital technologies is proving increasingly relevant, and the rise of digital training platforms shows their usefulness and possibilities. However, despite the impact of these platforms on the medical skills learning, cultural differences are rarely factored in the implementation of these training environments. METHODS By using the Scrub Nurse Non-Technical Skills Training System (SunSet), we developed a methodology enabling the adaptation of a virtual reality-based environment and scenarios from French to Japanese cultural and medical practices. We then conducted a technical feasibility study between France and Japan to assess virtual reality simulations acceptance among scrub nurses. RESULTS Results in term of acceptance do not reveal major disparity between both populations, and the only emerging significant difference between both groups is on the Behavioral Intention, which is significantly higher for the French scrub nurses. In both cases, participants had a positive outlook. CONCLUSION The findings suggest that the methodology we have implemented can be further used in the context of cultural adaptation of non-technical skills learning scenarios in virtual environments for the training and assessment of health care personnel.

Abstract
Technology that delivers an immersive experience in education offers a viable alternative to in-person teaching. This study aims to compare learning from a clinical encounter viewed in a virtual reality 360-degree headset to that of a traditional monitor by quantifying the user experience and testing what was learnt. Furthermore, experiential learning is described as a key concept in simulation practice, and this is explored using transcripts of participants' experiences with 360-degree video. We could determine no statistical difference between median exam scores between groups (p = 0.25), and there was no correlation found between total immersion and motivational scores with exam performance (Rho = -0.14 p = 0.18, Rho = 0.08 p = 0.31). However, those viewing 360 media reported significantly higher immersion, motivation, and empathy scores (p < 0.05). Domains based upon Kolb's learning cycle generated themes including engagement, communication, and self-efficacy. 360 video creates an immersive experience with an associated high-value motivational position; however, this could not be translated to an increase in exam scores. There are benefits to perceived learning and emotional content with 360 videos, although, pedagogical theory needs further understanding if educators are to embed new immersive technology in curriculums.

Abstract
The need to bring behavior analysis to scale is no more obvious or urgent than now. Collaboration between behavior analysts and healthcare workers, educators, policymakers, mental health clinicians, social workers, and so many other professionals is critical to reaching under-resourced and traditionally marginalized populations. First, however, interprofessional collaboration must be adopted widely and reinforced within the behavior analytic community. Disciplinary centrism and hubris pose barriers to effective interprofessional collaboration, leading one to assume the position that practitioners of the same discipline are better trained and smarter than those of a different field. However, cultural humility (Wright, Behavior Analysis in Practice, 12(4), 805-809, 2019) is an alternative to disciplinary centrism that allows professionals to retain identities born of cultural histories and training (Pecukonis, Journal of Teaching in Social Work, 40(3), 211-220, 2020). Furthermore, cultural reciprocity is a process of self-observation and collaborative inquiry that involves questioning one's own assumptions and forces individuals (and professions) to confront the contradictions between their values and their practices (Kalyanpur & Harry, 1999). In this paper, we revisit the call for Humble Behaviorism first made by Alan Neuringer in 1991 and the recommendations of fellow behavior analysts since. Specifically, we introduce a framework of cultural reciprocity to guide humble behaviorists as they acquire behaviors necessary to establish and maintain productive interprofessional relationships. We encourage them to act on their ethical and moral duties to address social problems of global concern and bring behavior analysis to scale.

Abstract
Abundant literature supports the value of interprofessional education (IPE) in health profession programs, but few studies focus on undergraduate honors students. The goals of this academic-practice partnership quality improvement project were to increase awareness of IPE, provide experiential opportunities to learn the principles of interprofessional practice, assess perceptions of readiness for practice, and to explore motivations and learning expectations of undergraduate nursing and pre-medical honors students. Average scores on the Readiness for Interprofessional Learning Scale (RIPLS) increased in several areas after the IPE simulation experiences, with small to medium effect sizes (Cohen's d) on individual items and two subscales (Teamwork & Collaboration and Positive Professional Identity). Themes identified in the narrative data were opportunity, fun, self-awareness, situational awareness, and the value of teamwork. These findings add to literature on honor students' expectations and motivations for learning and can be used in designing interprofessional collaborative learning activities for undergraduate health profession students.
