Abstract
Background
The use of virtual reality technologies such as 360-video, can provide innovative
and effective adjuncts to traditional simulation activities when teaching nursing
students. This paper describes the use of a 360-video to prepare nursing students
for an operating room placement.
Methods
This educational project involved a purposive sample of 42 undergraduate nursing students
who watched a 360-video orientation to the operating room prior to clinical placement
in a tertiary acute care setting. Data were collected regarding their perceptions
of the value of the activity in preparing them for the unique and complex setting
of the operating room.
Results
Quantitative and qualitative data analysis identified that students considered this
a very positive experience; participants described the learning activity as immersive
and valuable for learning while also reducing preplacement stress and anxiety. Participants
who attended an actual operating room placement also acknowledged that the video would
be useful in preparing them for the experience.
Conclusion
Technology such as 360-video is a valuable adjunct to traditional simulation activities,
it can be used to create learning opportunities that are consistent, reproducible,
and accessible outside of the usual classroom setting.
