Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Introduction: To develop a virtual mental nursing practice program and verify its effectiveness. Methods Participants were fifty-four fourth grade nursing students who completed more than one semester of theoretical courses in mental nursing with no psychiatric nursing clinical practice experience. The program comprised six themes; its effect was analyzed using repeated measures ANOVA. Results There were significant effects between groups and time points in mental disease-related knowledge, learning flow, and learning satisfaction. Conclusions The simulation education program was effective as an intermediate educational space connecting theoretical and field education. It can enhance students’ ability and confidence to interact with patients and perform therapeutic nursing.
