Background: In the midst of the international opioid-related overdose (OOD) crisis, appropriate naloxone training is needed by both healthcare professionals and community members to better leverage its life-saving potential.
Objective: Pilot the use of a virtual reality simulation for training student nurses to identify signs and symptoms of an OOD, properly administer intranasal naloxone, and provide immediate recovery care after revival.
Design: This quasi-experimental pretest-posttest study evaluated knowledge and attitudes towards intervening during an opioid-related overdose among student nurses before and after participating in a traditional hybrid simulation or virtual reality simulation.
