The use of virtual reality in clinical skills training for nursing students

This review examines the contributions of virtual reality technology to clinical skills training in nursing students. Virtual reality allows students to safely develop psychomotor and cognitive skills by providing three-dimensional and interactive learning environments. The literature shows that virtual reality supported education increases learning motivation, reduces anxiety about making mistakes and improves practical skills. It is also important in terms of providing reproducible experience without compromising patient safety. In this context, the review ims to evaluate the role of virtual reality in gaining clinical skills as an innovative and effective method in nursing education.
