360° Video Simulation Scenario for the WHO Global Patient Safety Challenge “Medication Without Harm”

Abstract

Background: High-quality video productions integrating 360° simulations of real-life nursing scenarios, though still emerging and relatively rare, have shown promise in enriching learning experiences and refining students’ competencies, attitudes, and knowledge. Purpose: To develop a 360° video simulation scenario for teaching medication safety in nursing. Methods: The methodological framework comprised 3 key stages: (1) crafting the script; (2) scrutinizing the script’s validity through evaluation by expert judges in medication administration; and (3) developing the set, filming scenes, and refining the video using a 360° camera. Results: All evaluated elements garnered substantial concurrence among the expert panel. After script validation, the video script underwent refinement and validation by expert judges. The 360° video was tailored for utilization with virtual reality glasses, rendering it accessible for integration into nursing education curricula. Conclusions: The final version consisted of a continuous scene that ended with a question that prompted the identification of errors.
