虛擬實境在護理教育應用之契機與挑戰：質性研究取向

Opportunities and Challenges of the Application of Virtual Reality in Nursing Education: A Qualitative Research Approach

虛擬實境在軟硬體的突飛猛進帶給醫護教育實作課程新契機，新發展的虛擬實境教學系統仍須以使用者的經驗為依歸。本研究旨在瞭解學生體驗兒童抽搐發作處置虛擬實境教學後的經驗，採方便取樣方式，以某科技大學護理系三年級參與過兒童抽搐發作處置虛擬實境教學的學生為對象，共招募9位學生參與焦點團體訪談，續以內容分析法進行逐字稿之分析與萃取，逐步歸納出重要類別後，形成體驗虛擬實境教學之三大主題，分別為「VR教學的獨特優勢」、「VR教學的可能干擾」及「VR教學的再精進」。本研究的結果顯示以虛擬實境教學應善用其所具備優勢，設法降低人為與設備的干擾，設計延伸教案並優化操作系統，期望本研究結果能提供有志發展虛擬實境教學的教師之參考。

The rapid development of virtual reality in software and hardware has brought new opportunities for medical and nursing education. A newly developed virtual reality teaching system must be student-oriented. This study was designed to understand students’ experiences in managing children’s seizure episode via a virtual reality system. Convenience sampling was used to recruit students who were nursing students in the third grade in a university of science and technology and had experience in the virtual reality system. A total of 9 students were recruited and participated in this study’s focus group interviews. Content analysis was applied to analysis and extract meaningful words from verbatim manuscripts, and then further to generate important themes. Three major themes emerged which were “unique advantages of virtual reality teaching”, “possible interruptions of virtual reality teaching”, and “refinement of virtual reality teaching”. The results of this study showed that teaching with virtual reality should make good use of its advantages, try to reduce the interference caused by humans and devices, further design extended scenarios, and optimize the operating system of virtual reality. The study results can provide a reference for teachers who are interested in developing virtual reality teaching.
