Abstract
BackgroundVirtual reality has gradually been applied to nursing education, with many advantages. MethodsA quasi-experimental, pretest-posttest study was conducted to verify the teaching effectiveness of a virtual reality-based cognitive assessment and rehabilitation simulation course. The Chinese version of the Critical Thinking Disposition Inventory was used to measure the critical thinking abilities of participants. The teaching evaluation included the evaluation of the virtual system, course, teaching, and students themselves. ResultsThe difference between the pre- and post-tests was statistically significant for the dimensions of truth seeking, open mindedness, systematicity, self-confidence, inquisitiveness, maturity, and the total score of critical thinking ability (p < .05). ConclusionThe course can significantly improve the critical thinking ability of nursing undergraduates and provide an effective teaching method.
