Virtual Reality Simulation in a Health Assessment Laboratory Course: A Mixed-methods Explanatory Study Examining Student Satisfaction and Self-confidence.

Background: The purpose of this mixed-methods study was to examine the relationship between virtual reality simulation (VRS) and student satisfaction and self-confidence in a health assessment laboratory course.

Methods: Second-year students (n = 37) completed a postoperative respiratory distress scenario using Elsevier's Simulation Learning System with Virtual Reality. All participants completed the Satisfaction and Self-Confidence in Learning Scale; a subset participated in 1:1 semistructured interviews.

Virtual Health Assessment Laboratory Course Delivery and Nursing Student Clinical Judgment: A Mixed-Methods Exploratory Study.

Background: It is essential to explore virtual learning experiences to identify their impact on nursing students' learning.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between the virtual delivery of a health assessment laboratory course and nursing students' clinical judgment.

Methods: Using a mixed-methods explanatory sequential design, the investigators appraised the final laboratory examinations of both in-person and virtual delivery cohorts using the Lasater Clinical Judgment Rubric (LCJR) and then interviewed faculty members.
