Analysis of cybersickness in virtual nursing simulation: a German longitudinal study.

Background: Innovative educational approaches such as simulation-based nursing education using virtual reality (VR) technologies provide new opportunities for nursing education. However, there is a lack of information on side effects, especially health-related side effects, of head-mounted displays (HMDs) on the human body when using VR devices for nursing simulation. This study aims to validate the German version of the Virtual Reality Sickness Questionnaire (VRSQ) and to evaluate its associations with sex and age, as reflected in the VRSQ scores (total score, oculomotor, and disorientation) over time.

[Status of the implementation of simulation-based education in Germany: A cross-sectional study].

Status of the implementation of simulation-based education in Germany: A cross-sectional study The importance of simulation-based learning in nursing education is growing. Its success depends on the qualification of facilitators and the use of standards. Up to now, there has been a lack of data on the state of implementation of simulation-based learning in nursing education in Germany.

Facilitator competency rubric in nursing simulations: transcultural adaptation and validation of the German version.

Background: Simulations are part of nursing education. To obtain good results, simulation facilitators need to be competent in simulation pedagogy. Part of this study was the transcultural adaptation and validation of the Facilitator Competency Rubric into German (FCR) and the evaluation of the factors associated with higher competencies.

Associations Between Older Adults' Loneliness and Acceptance of Socially Assistive Robots: A Cross-Sectional Study.

The use of socially assistive robots (SARs) to enable older adults (aged ≥65 years) to live independently for as long as possible has been researched for several years. Of particular interest is the way SARs can combat loneliness. A quantitative cross-sectional study was conducted with 61 older adults in living facilities in Berlin, Germany.

[Effort-Reward Imbalance, Ability to Work and the Desire for Career Exits: a Cross-sectional Study of Nurses].
