Nursing Students’ Perception Toward Virtual Simulation Practical Experiences : Using Content Analysis Approach Method

Purpose : This study is to understand the contents of nursing students’ perception of virtual simulation practice, to analyze the perception of virtual simulation practice experience, to highlight the importance of virtual simulation practice, and to provide basic data for the development of virtual simulation practice education programs for college students. Method : The subjects of this study were 190 nursing students in 3rd year at a nursing university located in Seoul and Gyeonggi-do. Data were collected from April 15, 2021 to May 30, 2021 and analyzed by the content analysis method. Results : Nursing students’ perception toward virtual simulation practice experiences were classified into a positive reinforcement area and a negative reinforcement area which were analyzed to draw a total of 80 significant statements and 26 categories. Conclusions : Enhancing the positive perception toward virtual simulation practice experiences, while transforming negative perception to positive, can help the students reduce their stress and enhance adaptability in regard to clinical practices.
