The Effect of Augmented Reality and Benner Model-Based Teaching on Nursing Students' Learning: Child Patient End-of-Life Care Module

Introduction Description of the Subject/ Problem Status The end-of-life period is the period in which health declines due to the last stage of the disease, the organism loses its ability to renew itself, and the state of being alive ends. This process affects both the family and the patient in many ways. Meeting the physical, spiritual, psychological, and cultural needs of the family and the patient in the last days and hours of life reflects the nurse's holistic care.

The first step towards becoming a skilled clinician and advocacy guide for the nurse who cares for the sick individual in the last days and hours of life is to have a clear understanding of what care the patient and family want at the end of life . The basic desires of patients and families at the end of life. It is process-oriented and relationship-based rather than focusing on medical goals. In addition, patients prefer to die at home (Tang, 2003), symptom management and communication management of a specialist healthcare professional in reporting bad news are among the important themes of end-of-life care.

To provide evidence-based care in nursing education, expert educators use patients created with simulation-based virtual reality methods, high-quality human simulators, standardized patients, augmented reality, and virtually created patients . Virtual reality can artificially recreate all senses, and experiences, including sight, hearing, touch, and smell. Augmented reality tries to replace reality by bridging "virtual and real worlds" (Wu H-K, Lee SW-Y, Chang H-Y, Liang J-C. 2013; Ferguson, C., Davidson, P. M., Scott, P. J., Jackson, D., &Hickman, L. D. (2015) These methods help students provide appropriate nursing care safely and efficiently without fear of their professional skills and knowledge.

The use of simulation in nursing education is an integral part of the curriculum and will demonstrate the benefit of learning to nurse students of all levels. The next phase of simulation-based learning is the wide variety of new technologies currently available, including virtual and augmented reality. The use of these new technologies will bring the need for standard definitions, assessment of the impact on learning, and new opportunities for research. By incorporating virtual and augmented reality into the curricula of nurse academicians, simulation-based learning methods will provide an opportunity to create a new era in education.

While providing care for the individual in the last days and hours of life, it is very difficult for nurses to control the individual's own feelings about the death process when the individual suffers, and works with families in an extremely difficult time . Nurses' training on pediatric end-of-life care includes a wide variety of modules, including didactic sessions, supervised clinical practice, mentoring, role-playing of predetermined scenarios, simulated/standardized patient encounters, computer-based gaming, augmented reality (AR), and virtual reality (VR) modules. teaching methods are used . Academics and nurses have to adjust the experiences they learn in many different ways to suit the student. Augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (SG), and play all provide an immersive student experience where new ways of learning are needed more than ever before. will be used in many settings to optimize care and improve the health outcomes of individuals in all care settings.
