Abstract

Purpose
This study was conducted to verify the effect of a simulation-based virtual reality psychiatric nursing education program
Methods
This was a quasi-experimental study that used two groups and a pretest-posttest design. There were 35 nursing students in both the experimental and control groups. Data were collected between January 18 and February 28. The educational program was configured in four stages over four weeks. An afterprogram post-test was conducted for one week.
Results
The experimental group showed significantly higher values for depression nursing knowledge (t=-3.96, p<.001), learning self-efficacy (t=-3.34, p=.001), and problem solving processes (t=-3.01, p=.004) than the control group.
Conclusion
The educational program was found to be effective for nursing students' depression nursing knowledge, learning self-efficacy, and problem-solving processes. It is expected to be foundational material for developing various virtual reality-based simulation education programs.
