The Effects of Classes using Virtual Reality Simulations of the Hospital Environment on Knowledge of the Hospital Environment, Academic Self-efficacy, Learning Flow, Educational Satisfaction and Academic Achievement in Nursing Students

Purpose: This study examined the effects of virtual reality (VR)-based fundamental nursing education on nursing students’ knowledge of the hospital environment, academic self-efficacy, learning flow, educational satisfaction, and academic achievement.Methods: In total, 137 nursing students participated in this non-equivalent control group pretest-posttest study, with 69 and 68 in the experimental and control groups, respectively. Differences in the dependent variables between the two groups before and after the intervention were compared using the independent-sample t-test and Mann-Whitney U test.Results: The VR intervention group showed significantly higher knowledge of the hospital environment (t=3.88, p<.001), educational satisfaction (z=-3.82, p<.001), and academic achievement (z=-2.54, p=.011) than the control group.Conclusion: These findings indicate that VR-based education is an effective intervention for improving knowledge of the hospital environment, educational satisfaction, and academic achievement in nursing education.

The Effect of Job and Education Satisfaction of Medical Skin Care Workers on Job Adaptation

The survey data of part 327 were collected, and the measuring tool consisted of 4 measurement indicators to compose a questionnaire with 37 items of measurement items for operational definition and research. and frequency analysis, reliability analysis, principal component analysis, factor analysis, correlation analysis, and multiple regression analysis were conducted using the SPSS 21.0 program. The results of the study are as follows. Job satisfaction among factors of job experience (β=434, p<.001), working environment (β=245, p<.001) has been shown to have a significant influence on job adaptation in order. Practical education (β=.409, p<.001) among the factors in education satisfaction, theory education (β=.261, p<.001) was shown to have a significant influence on job adaptability in order. Of the two factors, 'practice education' has been analyzed to have a greater impact on job adaptability. As a result, it is believed that increasing job satisfaction and educational achievements through practice and theory education with confidence in the duties of medical skincare workers will strengthen the capabilities of medical skincare workers and help develop the medical skincare industry.
