Learning Effects of a Mobile Virtual Reality Neurological Assessment Simulation for Nursing Students

Key Points

• The study aims to evaluate the effects of mobile virtual reality simulation on nursing students' knowledge, motivation, and satisfaction in neurological assessments.
• Conducted a quasi-experimental study with pre- and post-tests.
• Involved 58 second-year nursing students from two universities, divided into experimental and control groups.
• The experimental group used mobile VR simulation, while the control group used written materials for two weeks.
• Data analysis performed with SPSS 25.0 using χ²-test, ANCOVA, and independent t-test.
• The experimental group showed significant improvement in knowledge of neurological assessment (F=7.74, p=.007).
• Significant increase in learning satisfaction compared to the control group (t=8.19, p<.001).
• No significant difference in learning motivation between groups (F=2.60, p=.113).
