    Building self-efficacy in dementia care through immersive education: a mixed-methods randomized control trial
    (Elsevier, 2024) Vogelsang, Laura; Risling, Tracie; de Padua, Anthony ; Leidl, Donald; Wilson, Jay; Thompson, David
    Background: Improving self-efficacy for nursing students to manage aggressive behaviours in clients with dementia supports better outcomes for clients. No studies have been conducted on the use of immersive virtual reality as a potential tool. Method: A mixed-methods, randomized control trial explanatory design compared perceived self efficacy for practical nursing students who used the CareGiVRTM virtual reality application with those who did not, using the Inventory of Geriatric Nursing Self-Efficacy (IGNSE) along with qualitative focus groups. Results: Forty-six students (49%) participated in the quantitative component. Fifteen students elected to participate in the follow-up qualitative focus groups. Findings indicate participants who used the CareGiVRTM application reported statistically significant higher levels of perceived self-efficacy post intervention and when compared with those in the control group following their clinical rotation. Four themes were identified: getting real-world experience, a safe place to practice, meeting the client where they are at, and a tool not a replacement. Conclusion: Immersive virtual reality can be an effective tool to increase perceived self-efficacy for managing aggressive behaviours in clients with dementia in practical nursing students.

    Exploring the use of immersive virtual reality in nursing education: A scoping review
    (Elsevier, 2024) Vogelsang, Laura; Wright, Sheri; Risling, Tracie; de Padua, Anthony; Leidl, Donald; Wilson, Jay; Thompson, David
    Background: Virtual reality is an emerging technology for nursing education. This technology can provide visual, motor, and auditory immersion into a virtual environment, thereby mimicking reality. Virtual reality may be an effective pedagogical tool for nursing educators to meet the learning needs of nursing students. Objective: The aim of this scoping review was to map the existing literature on the use of immersive virtual reality implemented within nursing education programs with nursing students. Design: Scoping review following established methodology. Data sources: A database search of ERIC (OVID), Medline (OVID), PubMed, Web of Science, and CINAHL Plus with Full Text, and Nursing and Allied Health Database. Records published between January 2010 and August 2022. Review methods: Two reviewers independently screened titles and abstracts of 2115 articles. Fourteen articles were included in this scoping review. Results: Five major themes were identified in the thematic analysis: Self-confidence, Skill acquisition, Improved learning outcomes, Perspective taking, and Promoting engagement. Immersive virtual reality is being utilized in a variety of clinical settings and with different intended purposes. Most virtual reality research is focused on end-user satisfaction and perceptions of usability. Conclusions: This scoping review provides a comprehensive understanding of the use of immersive virtual reality within nursing education. There is a range of definitions of virtual reality utilized within.
