dc.description.abstractBackground: 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.
