Abstract

Virtual patients are used as training method to gain professional competencies in nursing education. Virtual patients are real-life interactive computer-based clinical scenarios where students can learn appropriate information and practices to plan and manage patient care, and can be used for health care, training, or evaluation. Virtual patient technology that provides skill in a risk-free environment provides real-time feedback on student activity that can affect decision-making when they contact with the patient. If included in the curriculum appropriately; virtual patient technology can help the student develop numerous skills such as clinical assessment, patient interaction, critical thinking, therapeutic approach and adaptation to a changing environment. It helps students to overcome the limits of clinical practice, develop coping skills, support critical thinking, develop decision-making skills, and quickly adapt to clinical settings.

Özet

Sanal hastalar, hemşirelik eğitiminde mesleki yeterlikleri kazanmak için eğitim yöntemi olarak kullanılmaktadır. Öğrencilerin hasta bakımını planlamak ve yönetmek için uygun bilgi ve uygulamaları öğrenebilecekleri, sağlık bakımı, eğitim veya değerlendirme amacıyla kullanılabilen gerçek yaşamla etkileşimli bilgisayar tabanlı klinik senaryolardır. Risksiz bir ortamda beceri kazandıran sanal hasta teknolojisi, hasta ile temasa geçtiğinde karar vermeyi etkileyebilecek öğrenci etkinliği hakkında gerçek zamanlı geribildirim sağlar. Müfredata uygun bir şekilde dahil edilirse; sanal hasta teknolojisi öğrenciye klinik değerlendirme, hasta etkileşimi, eleştirel düşünme, terapötik yaklaşım ve değişen bir ortama uyum sağlama gibi çok sayıda becerinin geliştirilmesine yardımcı olabilir. Öğrencilerin klinik uygulamaların sınırlarını aşmalarına, baş etme becerilerini geliştirmelerine, eleştirel düşünceyi desteklemelerine, karar verme becerilerini geliştirmelerine ve klinik ortamlara hızlı bir şekilde adapte olmalarına yardımcı olmaktadır.
