Abstract：
This study examined the effects of a virtual reality simulation for advanced infection control education in neonatal intensive care units (VR_AICENICU) on nurses\' infection control knowledge and performance confidence. We examined nurses\' presence, empathy, and program satisfaction using a non-equivalent control group pre-post design. Nurses were divided into an experimental group (n = 20) experiencing VR simulation and routine NICU practice and a control group (n = 20) with routine NICU practice. The VR_AICENICU program comprised three scenarios: high-risk medication with lipid solution, dressing and management for peripheral inserted central line, and aspiration prevention and skincare management during ventilator use for premature infants. Data were collected between February and July 2022. The experimental group showed significantly greater improvements in infection control knowledge and performance confidence compared to the pre-test. The average scores of presence, empathy, and program satisfaction of the experimental group were 4.39 ± 0.36, 4.33 ± 0.75, and 4.90 ± 0.31, respectively. The VR_AICENICU program has implications for the education needs of nurses working in NICUs and enhances their knowledge and performance of infection control. Future studies should apply the VR_AICENICU program to different severity grades of NICU patients and develop additional VR programs.
摘要：
这项研究研究了虚拟现实模拟对新生儿重症监护病房（VR_AICENICU）高级感染控制教育对护士感染控制知识和绩效信心的影响。我们检查了护士的存在，同理心,和程序满意度使用非等效控制组的前置设计。将护士分为接受VR模拟和常规NICU实践的实验组（n=20）和接受常规NICU实践的对照组（n=20）。VR_AICENICU计划包括三种情况：高风险药物与脂质溶液，周边插入中心线的敷料和管理，以及早产儿使用呼吸机期间的误吸预防和皮肤护理管理。数据收集于2022年2月至7月之间。与预测试相比，实验组在感染控制知识和表现信心方面表现出明显更大的改善。在场的平均分数，同理心,实验组的项目满意度分别为4.39±0.36、4.33±0.75和4.90±0.31。VR_AICENICU计划对在NICU工作的护士的教育需求具有影响，并增强了他们对感染控制的知识和表现。未来的研究应将VR_AICENICU计划应用于不同严重程度的NICU患者，并开发其他VR计划。
