Abstract
With the global pandemic of the coronavirus disease, virtual reality simulation (vSim) has emerged as a simulation educational method. The purpose of this study is to examine the learning effects of vSim by comparing three different educational modalities of nursing care for children with asthma. A quasi-experimental design with three different teaching methods, vSim, high-fidelity simulation (HFS), and vSim with HFS, were used in the study. The group using vSim with HFS showed the highest scores in knowledge, confidence in practice, and performance compared to groups using vSim or HFS alone. Simulation practice using vSim combined with HFS could be an effective educational method for nursing students.
Highlights
The emergence of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) at the beginning of 2020 and the declaration of a pandemic in March 2020 led to the shutdown of activities, including education [1].In the curriculum for undergraduate nursing students, clinical practice is considered one of the most important areas that must be experienced [2]

The learning effects of the simulation educational modality in nursing care for children with asthma were compared in knowledge, Confidence in Practice (CP), and performance
Summary
The emergence of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) at the beginning of 2020 and the declaration of a pandemic in March 2020 led to the shutdown of activities, including education [1].In the curriculum for undergraduate nursing students, clinical practice is considered one of the most important areas that must be experienced [2]. The emergence of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) at the beginning of 2020 and the declaration of a pandemic in March 2020 led to the shutdown of activities, including education [1]. The unexpected crisis has led to the closure of colleges and universities and has disrupted academic activities, leading to a change to remote classes as an educational method, including clinical education in nursing schools. Nursing students are in the most troublesome of hospital-based educational settings [3]. In the current situation, where remote clinical educational training is required to protect students from COVID-19, a virtual reality simulation (vSim)-based educational method has been introduced to replace hospital-based clinical education in nursing schools in Korea. It is necessary to examine the effects of vSim to understand the implications for nursing and potential challenges for future clinical education
