Abstract
Nurses today are expected to know more than ever before, but do their educations prepare them for what they will actually face on the job? In this episode of Research Matters, we’re exploring what virtual reality has to offer nursing education, particularly in training nurses how to deliver effective dementia care to patients experiencing behavioral symptoms. KSU researchers have developed and are improving a gamified, virtual reality training for nursing students that allows them to experience simulations of realistic clinical scenarios they may face, then learn how respond to them in a controlled environment. Dr. Modupe Akintomide, Dr. Joy Li, and Faith Smith join us to discuss how they brought healthcare and computer science together to achieve this innovative solution.
