Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
1. VP simulation design elements; global system quality and technology acceptance; role of simulation in supporting nurses’ professional practice and achievement of learning objectives are measured with a 4-points Likert scale (1 = Strongly disagree; 2 = Disagree; 3 = Agree; 4 = Strongly agree) post-intervention (no timeline). 2. In the qualitative data collection at a single timepoint post-intervention, these topics are of interest: motivations, perceived difficulties for study participation, and concrete implications for nursing practice following participation in the virtual patient simulation.
