– BN509 students (N=68) met Jerry, a 27 year
laceration on his back. He had just received penicillin and a tetanus injection. However, students were not briefed about his condition.
– BN507 students (N=19) revised a body system
Item Year 1 BN507 mean (N=19) It was easy to locate the body system I wished to review
4.16
It was easy to locate the body structures I wished to review
4.05
I thought the images looked real
4.11
The information associated with identified structures were helpful
3.16
It was easy to use the headset
4.32
The headset was comfortable to use
3.84
I felt I needed more technological support to use the technology
1.32
I enjoyed using this technology to learn assessment skills
4.53
I think that this technology should be used in all nursing courses
4.21
I felt that my learning was enhanced by using the HoloLens technology

– Clip 1: a man dressed in a hospital gown, appearing very agitated. – Clip 2: the same man, much ‘sicker’ – Clip 3: a very ill man.
– record as many
– Write down possible nursing diagnoses – Decide on nursing actions

Item Year 1 BN509 mean (N=68) Year 2 BN605 mean N=23) It was easy to pick up clues about the condition of the patient 4.43 4.7 It was easy to process the information gained from the patient cues 4.18 3.91 It was easy to describe the patient situation 4.35 4.48 The patient appeared to be very real 4.15 4.22 I felt confident about assessing the patient condition from the cues 4.03 4.30 It was easy to use the headset 4.42 3.78 The headset was comfortable to use 4.03 3.48 I felt I needed more technical support to use the technology 2.38 2.91 I felt I needed more support from the teacher when using the technology 1.94 2.30 I experienced motion sickness / disorientation from using the headset 1.53 2.35 I enjoyed using this technology to learn assessment skills 4.71 4.74 I think that this technology should be used in all nursing courses 4.47 4.57 I felt that my learning was enhanced by using the HoloLens technology 4.44 4.61

HoloLens?
– “It is easier to see the symptoms rather than be told them” – “See the actual patient and not having to ‘act’ – real time” – “It was interesting to assess a patient without feeling the pressure” – “A highly adaptable tool that gives cues not easily replicated in practice labs, giving a more realistic assessment” – “I felt I learnt more being in the situation and it was fun learning so made it more interesting” – “Allowed me to apply skills I had learnt and put them into practice – I learn by doing” – “Being able to see physical signs/symptoms is far more beneficial than explaining them”
HoloLens technology?
– “That you can see the patient and symptoms. It makes it more real” – “It was very real, cool to see the patient in our own eyes” – “This visual and auditory perspective allows a lot of cues to develop a nursing assessment and planning” – “Observing the progressing of a situation in a client without the panic and stress of a real situation” – “You can learn to observe patients and medical conditions in a stress free and learning environment” – “It feels so real. The patient looks like they are right there” – “It looked very life like. The skin looked very real was easy to see the cues from physical appearance” – “Awesome to see OP using emerging technology to assist learning”
