Abstract

The use of simulation for nursing education has several advantages. The present study aimed to develop and validate a serious virtual reality game for medication preparation and administration training. This is a methodological study in which a serious virtual reality game named NurseVR was developed and evaluated by teachers and students of a nursing course. In NurseVR, the player presents himself or herself in a simulated hospital environment to prepare and administer a medication. From then on, all the steps to be taken are the player's free choice according to what was learned in the classroom, making the game the closest to reality. High levels of positive agreement to statements concerning the validity of the game were found between students and teachers. The virtual immersion proposal was an innovative tool, and the validation results of the final version of NurseVR allow its use for nursing training.
