Demonstrating Clinical Knowledge Improvement in Prelicensure Nursing Learners Using VR

Description: Virtual Reality (VR) based training is becoming increasingly popular among a diverse range of healthcare institutions. While the benefits of the medium, such as the immersion and scale are well accepted, there is still a growing need to understand the efficacy of this newer modality of learning. More so, the prevalent question is how can educators effectively use this new tool in their toolbox. In this webinar, the speaker, HalynaYurkiv RN, BScN, MN will present results from an independent IRB-approved studies conducted by her at her institution. Halyna created a novel VR-based simulation using three different environments to simulate a typical nursing shift for nursing students at the Toronto Metropolitan University (formerly Ryerson) on the InvolveXR platform. Her study using this simulation also showed a statistically significant acquisition in respiratory distress knowledge.

Join this webinar to learn more about how Halyna performed the study and the results she measured. This, and other use cases discussed will also provide institutions and their educators some examples of how they can incorporate effective VR-based learning for their own programs.

Learning Objectives:

1. Learn how VR-based training produced significant knowledge improvements based an IRB-approved study among pre-licensure Nursing students.
2. Understand where VR-based training produced a high level of learner efficacy.
3. Get inspired by novel use cases that can showcase how VR can be an effective tool for your program(s).
