Development of a virtual reality simulation education program for nursing students to care for agitation (VRSEPforNSA) in patients with dementia

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to develop a virtual reality simulation education program for nursing students to care for agitation (VRSEPforNSA) in patients with dementia). Method: The VRSEPforNSA was developed using the ADDIE model (analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation). Result: Analysis was performed using the nursing journal database from 2017 to 2021 with keyword of virtual reality, nursing, nursing education and program. Design was consisted based on the Jeffries’ 5E learning cycle model. VRSEPforNSA was developed with 3 stages: the assessment and care for agitation in patients with dementia, patient falls to floor, and back to bed in room. The VRSEPforNSA is run for a total of 100 minutes and the module is consisted of a pre-test, VR simulation running, debriefing, nursing record and reflection, and so on. Conclusion: There is a need to apply the VRSEPforNSA for senior nursing students and to test the effects on agitation care performance, self-efficacy and decision making.
