초록/요약
Background: Nursing educators increasingly use virtual simulation, making it important to assess it efficacy and applicability. Methods: A one-group pretesteposttest study was conducted to investigate the impact of virtual simulation on nursing students' critical thinking and self-directed learning abilities. The participants were 47 Korean nursing students, completing a 4-week course that included the use of vSim for Nursing. Results: No statistically significant differences emerged between the assessments on critical thinking or self-directed learning ability before and after virtual simulation. However, one subscale on self directed learning ability, "gathering resources for learning,'' showed statistical significance. Conclusions: Virtual simulation in its current format can be applied to Korean nursing students, but should be tailored to language appropriateness and the Korean clinical environment.
