Effects of a self-determination theory–based mixed reality pressure injury nursing simulation program: A mixed-methods study

Puntos clave

• The self-determination theory-based program improves pressure injury management skills among nursing students, leading to better outcomes in practice.
• Quantitative outcomes showed a significant improvement in knowledge retention, with participants scoring 20% higher on assessments post-simulation.
• Mixed-methods analysis included both quantitative assessments and qualitative interviews, enriching the understanding of student experiences and learning effectiveness.
• Findings suggest a need for further integration of mixed reality simulations in nursing education to enhance practical skills development.
