Abstract：
UNASSIGNED: Virtual reality simulation (VRS) is an innovative modality in nursing professional development that has the potential to affect patient outcomes.
UNASSIGNED: An experimental cluster randomized controlled trial was performed with RNs on two inpatient units at a large academic health system. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of VRS compared with traditional education on Clostridium difficile rates. Return on investment of nursing professional development activities was also measured to support decision-making and resource allocation.
UNASSIGNED: Rates of C. difficile infection were significantly lower for both groups for the 3-month postintervention period compared with the 10-month period preintervention. Financial analysis showed a return on investment for both modalities, with VRS having higher yields over time.
UNASSIGNED: Findings showed that VRS was an effective instructional method. [J Contin Educ Nurs. 2024;55(7):351-358.].

摘要：
■虚拟现实模拟（VRS）是护理专业发展的创新模式，有可能影响患者的预后。
■在大型学术卫生系统的两个住院单位中使用RN进行了一项实验性集群随机对照试验。这项研究的目的是评估与传统教育相比，VRS对艰难梭菌患病率的影响。还测量了护理专业发展活动的投资回报，以支持决策和资源分配。
■与干预前的10个月相比，干预后3个月两组的艰难梭菌感染率均显著降低。财务分析表明，这两种模式都有投资回报，随着时间的推移，VRS具有更高的产量。
■研究结果表明，VRS是一种有效的教学方法。[JContinEduc护士。2024；55（7）：351–358。].
