Abstract AIM The aim of the study was to assess two levels immersive virtual reality simulation (VRS) teach skill decontamination. BACKGROUND Little is known about use VRS in providing disaster education, including retention. METHOD Quasiexperimental design with repeated measures, supplemented by qualitative data, using a convenience sample senior baccalaureate nursing students ( n = 197) from four Midwest campuses used. Students were randomly assigned group (two and control group) learn...

With increasing use of virtual reality simulation (VRS) in nursing education and given the vast array technologies available, a variety levels immersion experiences can be provided to students. This study explored two different immersive VRS capability. Study participants included baccalaureate students from three universities across four campuses. Students were trained skill decontamination using traditional methods or with options mouse keyboard head-mounted display technology. Results...

The purpose of this study was to examine the longitudinal effects virtual reality simulation (VRS) on learning outcomes and retention.Disaster preparation for health care professionals is seriously inadequate. VRS offers an opportunity practice within a realistic safe environment, but little known about retention using pedagogy.A quasiexperimental design used use with baccalaureate nursing students in two different programs terms skill decontamination.Results indicate that at least as good...

Nurses must be prepared to care for patients following a disaster, including exposed hazardous contaminants. The purpose of this study was examine the use virtual reality simulation (VRS) teach disaster-specific skill decontamination. A quasi-experimental design used assign nursing students from 2 baccalaureate programs 1 groups learn disaster decontamination—printed written directions or VRS. Performance, knowledge, and self-efficacy were outcome measures. Although in treatment group had...

Background This study evaluated cognitive workload in soldiers undertaking a long duration march wearing different loads. Methods Military participants (n=12 men and n=10 women) performed four 3-hour loaded marches (12.25 km at 4.9 km/hour) either 21 kg, 26 33 kg or 43 kg. During the march, accuracy response time were measured using verbal working memory n-back test (0, 1, 2 3) two bespoke Go/No Go tests (visual/auditory) to assess inhibition of pre-potent response. Results The physical...

Increasing numbers and severity of disasters across the globe require nurses to be prepared provide leadership in disaster situations. To address this need, a combination didactic simulation exercises was used daylong experience emphasizing application nursing skills senior baccalaureate students. Evaluation learning outcomes demonstrated significant improvement student self-efficacy related disasters.

The use of high-fidelity human patient simulation (HPS) is increasing in nursing education, yet little known about its community health. This study examined an HPS home care experience to determine effects on three outcomes (student satisfaction, self-confidence, and learning). In addition, design characteristics the demographic students were for correlation with these outcomes. Senior baccalaureate took part experience. Results indicated that very satisfied felt it increased their...

With increasing use of virtual reality simulation (VRS) in nursing education, there is a paucity research exploring learning outcomes following training with VRS as compared traditional mannequin-based simulation. Given the resource intensive nature simulation, especially for disaster understanding from newer technologies like are needed.

The National Disaster Health Consortium is an interprofessional disaster training program. Using the Hierarchical Learning Framework of Competency Sets in Medicine and Public Health, this program educates nurses other professionals to provide competent care leadership within team. This study examined outcomes training. Training consisted a combination online on-site were measured by using Emergency Preparedness Information Questionnaire (EPIQ) pre/post participant performance during live...

The vast majority of acute burns are initially seen and treated in emergency departments (EDs). Most the individuals caring for these patients have little or no specialized training multidisciplinary approach to burned patient. Burns limited severity immediately then followed on an outpatient basis; therefore reviews documented practices were not found. It was hypothesized that follow-up care may be suboptimal this population. medical records 791 at three EDs a Midwestern regional referral...

In Brief This multi-site, quasi-experimental study examined the performance outcomes of nurses (n = 152) in a military nurse transition program. A modified-performance instrument was used to assess participants two high-fidelity simulation scenarios. Although results indicated significant increase scores posttraining, only moderate interrater reliability were found for new instrument. These findings have implications educators assessing performance-based completing programs. authors...
