Evaluating virtual and VR sims

Suzie Kardong-Edgren PhD, RN, ANEF, CHSE, FSSH, FAAN Nurse Scientist

“Virtual” screen based simulations…computer screen based

• Computer screen based simulations
• Ryerson University free and beautifully done
• Many commercial companies
• Many companies excellent back-end metrics
• Work all sims yourself so you can debrief

Virtual reality

• Telepresence
• Emerging research at this time
• IT support…are they there?
• Beware cyber sickness…around 5-10%
• Does VR translate into Kirkpatrick level III behaviors in clinical?

Transfer validity from VR to clinical…yes!

Briefing and Debriefing for VSim or VR

• Assess student experience with programs and equipment
• Clarify misperceptions
• Stay in touch with student learning
• Relate virtual experience to actual clinical
• DASH tool- https://harvardmedsim.org/debriefing-assessment-for-

simulation-in-healthcare-dash/

• Facilitator Competency Rubric-

For any new product…Usability studies needed

• Ask any company what research they have done with their product
• System Usability Scale from sus.gov
• Research page at sus.gov https://www.usability.gov/how-to-and-

tools/index.html

• User research methods at SUS https://www.usability.gov/how-to-and-

tools/methods/user-research/index.html
