Abstract

Objectives This study was conducted to confirm the effectiveness of an educational program using virtual simulation on labour and delivery care. Methods Virtual simulation education on labour and delivery care was carried out 10hours for 2days and data collection was from May to August 2021 a total of 40 students. This quasi-experimental study used a one group pre-post design, and data analysis was performed using the SPSS 25.0 program with descriptive statistics, paired t-test and Pearson's correlation coefficient. Results There was a statistically significant difference in problem-solving process(T=-2.048, p=.044), confidence of clinical practice(T=-5.306, p<.001), inquisitiveness among sub-domains of critical thinking disposition(T=-2.079), p=.041). Critical thinking disposition had positive correlation with the problem-solving process(r=.879, p<.001) and confidence of clinical practice(r=.684, p<.001). The problem-solving process had positive correlation with confidence of clinical practice(r=.750, p<.001). Conclusions The virtual simulation education program on labour and delivery care can have a positive effect on learners' critical thinking disposition, problem-solving process, and confidence of clinical practice, and provides the basis for the development of various virtual simulation education programs.
