Summary: Virtual reality skill learning has seen substantial development in nursing education, with students experiencing convenience in practice, quick learning processes, stress-free environments, and eco-friendly aspects. However, adaptation to new learning methods is required, and future applications should focus on supporting students as self-learning tools rather than replacing traditional teaching methods.

Summary: As VR technologies are increasingly adopted in education, careful evaluation of instructional modes is needed. This study evaluates two modes: direct interaction and observation of others learning with VR. Results show that direct VR interaction leads to more intense emotional engagement, but no significant difference in knowledge gains. Each mode has specific instructional affordances, and further exploration of the cognitive and emotional components of learning with VR is needed.

Summary: This study compared the educational outcomes of three groups of nursing students learning the endotracheal suctioning skill with either VR simulation or video training. The video training group performed better in skill demonstration, while one of the VR groups had higher learner satisfaction. Students showed high technology acceptance for both VR groups, with the simpler VR simulation being more popular. In conclusion, VR can be used as a complementary resource to skills labs, but may not be ideal for practical psychomotor skills training at the moment.

Summary: This study aims to assess the transformative potential of Virtual Reality (VR) in nursing education. The results showed that, compared to traditional or alternative teaching methods, virtual reality technology has significant advantages in improving nursing students' theoretical knowledge, practical skills, skill retention, and satisfaction levels, while not yielding a significant advantage in enhancing critical thinking skills.

Summary: In this study, a virtual simulation curriculum for nursing education was developed and evaluated, based on analysis of literature and interviews with experts. The curriculum includes three content domains: enhancing clinical decision-making, experiencing low-exposed situations, and building professional resilience. By creating simulated scenarios, nurse educators can provide better learning opportunities for students.

Summary: This study evaluated the effectiveness of using an AI-powered doctor versus a human-controlled doctor in training nursing students for sepsis care and interprofessional communication. The results showed that both the AI-powered and human-controlled groups demonstrated significant improvements in communication knowledge and self-efficacy in interprofessional communication. The AI-powered group had higher sepsis posttest knowledge scores than the human-controlled group.

Summary: This study examined the impact of training intervals on the long-term retention and sustainment of CPR skills. The results showed that shorter intervals during initial acquisition improved performance, while longer intervals after acquisition improved performance at 3 or 6 months. Personalized scheduling may further enhance performance and reduce variability.

Summary: This study evaluated the use of art-cards to assist nursing students in reflecting on their clinical learning. The results showed that using pictures led to an increased number of words spoken by the students and three themes emerged: channeling feelings, making sense, and becoming. This suggests that the use of pictures or art-cards may enhance students' self-reflection during debriefing.
