Abstract

Problem statement: Immersive virtual reality is a technological advancement that has the potential to change the traditional approach to teaching nursing students. Virtual reality-based simulations allow nursing students to practice administering oxygen therapy in a controlled and safe environment while receiving immediate feedback on their performance. Aim of the study: This research aims to investigate the perceptions of nursing students who have taken oxygen therapy training using virtual reality simulations. Methodology: This descriptive qualitative study adopted a design utilizing in-depth interview research with 10 second-year nursing students. All interviews were recorded, transcribed verbatim, and analyzed using thematic analysis. Main Findings: Three themes emerged from this study: “positive experiences”, “the learning process through virtual reality”, and “benefit of using virtual reality”. Participants highlighted the fun experiences and excitement they felt while using virtual reality. Virtual reality can also increase their confidence and ability in oxygen therapy skills. However, participants highlighted the need for adaptation, especially in their initial experiences with virtual reality. Conclusion: Participants had great experiences offering oxygen treatment using virtual reality. Although there are some early hurdles and adjustments necessary, virtual reality may help students grow more adept and confident in their skills. The outcomes of this study will assist nursing educators and professors in planning and developing training techniques for nursing skill development.
