Abstract

This study is a descriptive qualitative study to understand the virtual reality-based simulation experiences of nursing students. The study recruited 53 students who conducted virtual reality-based simulation while attending the course of Adult Nursing I and II in the third year of the department of nursing at a university. The data was analyzed using a content analysis method from a reflection journal created anonymously by students. The results emerged 5 categories and 12 subcategories. The categories were consisted of "realizing the necessity of nursing competence", "expanding nursing knowledge", "receiving safety psychologically", "thinking focused on problem" and "getting satisfaction". It suggests that virtual reality online program can have a positive effect on thoughts and expansion of knowledge in a safe educational environment. Therefore, it needs to develop various contents for the virtual reality education and training.

본 연구는 간호대학생의 가상현실 기반 시뮬레이션 실습 경험을 이해하기 위한 기술적 질적 연구이다. 연구는 일개 대학의 간호학과 3학년 학생으로 '성인간호학 I, II'를 수강하면서 가상현실 기반 시뮬레이션 실습을 시행한 53명을 대상으로 하였다. 자료는 학생들이 익명으로 작성한 성찰일지를 내용분석법을 사용하여 분석하였다. 분석 결과 5개의 주제범주와 12개의 하위범주로 분류되었으며, 5개의 주제범주는 "필요한 간호역량을 깨달음", "지식이 확장됨", "심리적으로 안전함을 느낌", "문제 중심으로 사고함", "만족감을 얻음"으로 나타났다. 이는 가상현실 온라인 실습이 안전한 실습 환경에서 사고와 지식을 확장시키는 긍정적인 효과를 가져올 수 있음을 시사하고 있으므로 가상현실 실습을 위한 다양한 컨텐츠 개발이 필요하다.
