Paper Abstract:
|
With nursing personnel in short supply, innovative approaches to teaching such as the use of virtual reality (VR) can be one way to attract more students to this field. The beneficial effects of VR in terms of customer motivation, satisfaction, and loyalty suggest that the application of VR application is also feasible in learning settings. However, the implementation of VR software can be expensive. This paper compares a high-interaction fidelity approach (complex and costly implementation) and a low-fidelity approach (a simple and less costly prototype). An experiment with nursing students was conducted to compare the two approaches regarding their effect on self-efficacy, perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, trust, and intention to use. No relevant or significant differences between high- vs low-interaction fidelity implementation were found. Therefore, we recommend low-fidelity approaches to VR use in delivering basic nursing education as they are easier and less costly to implement without having a negative effect on other relevant constructs. |
