“…Previous studies show VR could enhance nursing students' effectiveness and interest in working with older people ( 59 ). Also, Campbell et al ( 60 ) reported using a VR dementia experience system could increase nursing student awareness, knowledge, and sensitivity of Alzheimer's disease. Further exploration is how these VR programs translate into improved care for those older people.…”

BackgroundVirtual simulation has been widely used in nursing education and nursing training. This study aims to characterize the publications in terms of countries, institutions, journals, authors, collaboration relationships, and analyze the trends of virtual simulation in nursing research.MethodsPublications regarding virtual simulation in nursing were retrieved from Web of Science core collection. Microsoft Excel 2010, VOSviewer were used to characterize the contributions of the authors, journals, institutions, and countries. The trends, hot-spots and knowledge network were analyzed by Citespace and VOSviewer.ResultsWe identified 677 papers between 1999 and 2021. The number of publications grew slowly until 2019, after that, it got a sharp increase in 2020 and 2021. The USA, Canada and Australia were three key contributors to this field. Centennial College and University of San Paulo, University of Ottawa and Ryerson University were top major institutions with a larger number of publications. Verkuyl M was the most productive and highest cited author. Clinical Simulation in Nursing, Nurse Education Today, Journal of Nursing Education were the three productive journals. The foundational themes of virtual simulation research in nursing are “virtual learning during COVID-19, clinical nursing care, education in nurse practitioners, education technology”.ConclusionVirtual simulation in nursing field has attracted considerable attention during COVID-19 pandemic. The research hotspot is gradually shifting from clinical nursing care to studies of nursing education using different virtual simulation technologies

“…163 under-graduate baccalaureate nursing students were attended this study. After the 44-minute interactive simulated virtual reality dementia experience with Virtual Dementia Tour (VDT®), increasing of student perceptions of awareness, knowledge and sensitivity of Alzheimer disease were detected in the study (17). Wang and Zhang were developed low vision simulation in virtual reality for training empathy within eye care providers.…”

Giriş ve Amaç: Strabismus, gözün dış kısmındaki altı kasın koordinasyon bozukluğu sonucu oluşur. Hemianopi durumunda ise görme alanının yarısı görülmez ve her iki gözün her iki yarısından da aynı yarım alan algılanır. Bu çalışmanın amacı; optisyenlik öğrencilerine bu hastaların yaşadıkları zorlukları yapay olarak yaşatarak, öğrencilerin hastalar ile empati kurmalarını sağlamak ve bu hastalıkların rehabilitasyonunda prizmaların nasıl kullanıldığını açıklamaktır.Gereç ve Yöntem: Araştırmada strabismus ve hemianopi ile ilgili birer tane simülasyon gözlüğü geliştirilmiştir. Simülasyonlar bu hastalıkları canlandıracak biçimde kalibre edilmiştir. Araştırmada karma model kullanılmıştır. Araştırmaya, İstanbul'daki bir üniversitenin optisyenlik programında öğrenim gören 25 öğrenci katılmıştır. Öğrencilere çalışma için geliştirilen simülasyon gözlükler kullanılarak empati eğitimi verilmiştir. Araştırmaya katılan öğrenciler simülasyon gözlükleri takarak çeşitli etkinlikler gerçekleştirmiştir. Bu etkinlikler strabismus ve hemianopi hastalarının güçlük çektiği durumlar arasından seçilmiştir. Araştırmada ölçme aracı olarak "Simülasyonlar için Değerlendirme Anketi" ve kompozisyonlar kullanılmıştır.Bulgular: Araştırma sonuçları öğrencilerin, hastalarla empati kurma açısından simülasyonları başarılı bulduğunu göstermektedir. Ayrıca simülasyonu kullanan öğrencilerin hastalara yönelik telafi edici stratejiler önerdikleri, hastalara yönelik farkındalık oluşturdukları ve empati kurdukları da tespit edilmiştir.Sonuç: Sağlık programı öğrencilerinin çalışma alanları ile ilgili hastalara karşı empati kurmaları önemlidir. Bu araştırmada geliştirilen simülasyonların optisyenlik ve optometri öğrencilerinin eğitiminde kullanılması önerilmektedir.

“…For instance, the Virtual Dementia Tour ® (Beville, 2002;Slater et al, 2019) or myShoes (Adefila et al, 2016) projects allow clinicians to "embody" an elderly patient in a nursing home, to experience the physical and sensory difficulties, as well as the memory loss, feelings, and frustrations associated with dementiarelated problems. While not directly involving training through patient interaction, these virtual immersion techniques that allow clinicians to put themselves in the patient's shoes have shown to improve clinicians' empathy and non-verbal behaviors toward elderly patients in real clinical practice (see Campbell et al, 2021).…”

Clinician-patient communication is essential to successful care and treatment. However, health training programs do not provide sufficient clinical exposure to practice communication skills that are pivotal when interacting with patients exhibiting mental health or age-related disorders. Recently, virtual reality has been used to develop simulation and training tools, in particular through embodied virtual patients (VP) offering the opportunity to engage in face-to-face human-like interactions. In this article, we overview recent developments in the literature on the use of VP-simulation tools for training communicative skills in psychiatry and geriatrics, fields in which patients have challenging social communication difficulties. We begin by highlighting the importance of verbal and non-verbal communication, arguing that clinical interactions are an interpersonal process where the patient’s and the clinician’s behavior mutually shape each other and are central to the therapeutic alliance. We also highlight the different simulation tools available to train healthcare professionals to interact with patients. Then, after clarifying what communication with a VP is about, we propose an overview of the most significant VP applications to highlight: 1) in what context and for what purpose VP simulation tools are used in psychiatry (e.g. depression, suicide risk, PTSD) and geriatrics (e.g., care needs, dementia), 2) how VP are conceptualized, 3) how trainee behaviors are assessed. We complete this overview with the presentation of VirtuAlz, our tool designed to train health care professionals in the social skills required to interact with patients with dementia. Finally, we propose recommendations, best practices and uses for the design, conduct and evaluation of VP training sessions.
