Although patients with hypovolemic shock are common in clinical practice, nursing students have little chance of coming across them during their practicum. The main focus of this qualitative study was to explore the elements essential for a virtual reality (VR) based simulation program for hypovolemic shock nursing care. To this end, we conducted focus group interviews with three expert groups of 15 (five from each group) experienced clinical nurses (≥10 years) with experience in hypovolemic shock nursing care. Data were collected in June and July 2020, and after transcribing the interviews, the data analysis involved theme development as part of qualitative content analysis. The exploratory research results were classified into five themes: experience of hypovolemic shock nursing care, determinants of patient prognosis, essential nursing competence, scenario construction, and direction for VR simulation program development. Based on their experience of hypovolemic shock nursing care, the participants suggested concrete development directions for scenarios and VR-based simulation training programs. This article proposes the development of a VR-based simulation program that reflects the exploratory research results of this study in order for nursing students to take an interest in hypovolemic shock nursing care and efficiently improve related skills.

Virtual reality programs are being actively utilized in various education fields, but not many have been developed/used in nursing. This study aimed to explore the essential components and improvements needed in an adult nursing VR-based simulation training program for nursing students through focus group interviews (FGIs). This was a qualitative study. Fourteen nursing students from three cities in Korea who had experienced clinical practice and simulation training participated. They were divided into three FGIs. Data were collected from February–March 2020. We analyzed the data from the FGIs using Colaizzi’s phenomenological methodology. In total, 40 themes emerged, divided into 13 theme clusters and the following four categories. When developing an adult nursing VR-based simulation training program, the development should focus on addressing the limitations of conventional clinical practice, and these should be analyzed; it should also reflect students’ needs, including the following: provide an array of scenarios/skills to be trained; difficulty-specific learning scenarios; immediate feedback (e.g., those in computerized games); simulate emergency situations; simulate clinical cases that are difficult to experience in clinical practice; and allow for the training of patient–nurse communication skills.

OBJECTIVE: to identify the needs of nursing students in the field of relational competencies. METHOD: qualitative study with an exploratory-descriptive nature. The random sample included 62 students in the 2nd year of the nursing undergraduate program of a school located in the central region of Portugal. The inclusion criterion was the nonexistence of clinical teaching. Data were collected through a form designed to assess relational needs; content analysis was used to analyze data. RESULTS: the results indicated that the students' concept of nursing care at this stage of their education is focused on the performance of nursing tasks and techniques instead of on scientific knowledge. Overall, they are aware that greater personal development and better self-knowledge are determinant for their personal and social well-being and for them to become good professionals. CONCLUSION: these results will support the improvement of an intervention program to be developed with these students.

Aim:  To  understand  the  ideals  of  nursing  students  about  theparticipation  of  the technician  in  the  Systematization  of  Nursing  Care  (SNC),  based  on the  theoretical  framework  by  Alfred  Schutz.  Method:  This  is  a  research  using  the comprehensive phenomenological method of Alfred Schutz. Results: Data was collected by  focus  group  with  eight  academic  nursing  students  from  a  public  university  in  Rio Grande do Norte. Discussion: the analysis of the speeches allowed  to reveal the typical ideals  of  participants  from two  perspectives  -  the  reasons  for  and  reasons-because the nursing  technicians  should  attend  the  SNC.  Conclusion:  the  typical  ideal  is  drawn delineating the investigated action - the nursing technician should participate in the SNC -  along  with  their  reasons-for  and  their  reasons-because;  also  elucidating  the  typical nursing student puppet who believes in consolidation of SNC through teamwork.

ABSTRACT Objective: To describe simulated scenes on conflict management in nursing care, created by university students; and to identify the skills and attitudes needed by the nursing student to manage conflicts in health care. Methods: This is a qualitative study conducted with 28 university nursing students from a public college located in the city of Boa Vista, Roraima. The strategy adopted for the production of data was the simulation of scenes of conflict. The data were analyzed according to Bardin’s methodology. Results: Four conflict scenes were produced, involving nurses and nursing technicians, health managers, multiprofessional health teams, and patient care. In this context, 274 record units were identified regarding skills and attitudes for nurses to manage conflicts. Final Considerations: The skills and attitudes essential for conflict management were: effective verbal communication, body language observation, knowing how to listen, negotiate, make decisions, be neutral, impartial, and how to lead democratically.

It is largely undisputed that nurses should obtain consent prior to nursing care procedures. This article reports on a qualitative study examining the way in which nurses obtain such informed consent. Data were collected through focus group discussion and by using a critical incident technique in order to explore the way in which nurses approach consent prior to nursing care procedures. Qualified nurses in two teaching hospitals in England participated in the study. An analysis of the data provides evidence that consent was often not obtained by those who participated in the study and that refusals of care were often ignored. In addition, participants were often uncertain how to proceed with care when the patient was unable to consent. Consent prior to nursing care procedures is an essential but undeveloped concept, for which a new ethos is required.

Virtual reality (VR) researchers struggle to conduct remote studies. Previous work has focused on working around limitations imposed by traditional crowdsourcing methods. However, the potential for leveraging social VR platforms for HCI evaluations is largely unexplored. These platforms have large VR-ready user populations, distributed synchronous virtual environments, and support for user generated content. We demonstrate how social VR platforms can be used to practically and ethically produce valid research results by replicating two studies using one such platform (VRChat): a quantitative study on Fitts’ Law and a qualitative study on tabletop collaboration. Our replication studies exhibited analogous results to the originals, indicating the research validity of this approach. Moreover, we easily recruited experienced VR users with their own hardware for synchronous, remote, and collaborative participation. We further provide lessons learned for future researchers experimenting using social VR platforms. This paper and all supplemental materials are available at osf.io/c2amz.
