Abstract

A quasi-experimental study evaluated nursing student (n=115) preferences for presimulation preparation activities. Although more students completed the case study than the virtual simulation game, those who played the game rated it more highly. This supports the feasibility and acceptability of using virtual simulation games as an engaging presimulation preparation activity.

Innovations in nursing education: Virtual simulation games versus traditional case studies for presimulation preparation

Calgary, Alberta, Canada

A quasi-experimental study evaluated nursing student (n=115) preferences for presimulation preparation activities. Although more students completed the case study than the virtual simulation game, those who played the game rated it more highly. This supports the feasibility and acceptability of using virtual simulation games as an engaging presimulation preparation activity.
