Abstract
BackgroundResearchers at Queen's University developed a virtual simulation game to serve as a presimulation preparation tool for students learning to perform cardiac resuscitation. MethodsA pilot randomised controlled trial compared nursing students who received traditional presimulation preparation to those who received a virtual simulation game in addition to traditional presimulation preparation during a resuscitation-oriented clinical simulation. Student performance was evaluated using a 12-item performance checklist. ResultsStudents provided with the virtual simulation game outperformed those provided with only the traditional presimulation preparation. ConclusionVirtual simulation gaming could serve as an effective presimulation preparation tool and should be explored further.
