Evaluating Whether Nonimmersion Virtual Reality Simulation Training Improves Nursing Competency in Isolation Wards: Randomized Controlled Trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

During infectious disease outbreaks such as the COVID-19 pandemic, nurses are crucial in patient care and public health safety; however, they face challenges such as inadequate training and high stress in isolation wards. Virtual reality (VR) technology offers innovative training solutions to enhance nurses' clinical skills and preparedness. However, extensive studies on its effectiveness in isolation ward environments are still limited.

Objective

This study aims to develop a nonimmersive VR (NIVR) simulation training program for isolation wards and further validate its feasibility and training effectiveness in aiding nurses in adapting to isolation ward settings.

Methods

This study was a prospective, parallel, open-label, randomized controlled trial. A tot
