Abstract
Virtual Reality technology is reshaping healthcare education by offering immersive and interactive learning experiences that surpass conventional methods. This study explores current trends, applications, and future directions of VR in healthcare education, emphasizing its role in augmenting learning outcomes and enhancing patient care. VR applications in medical education allow students to participate in realistic simulations of surgical procedures and patient care scenarios, fostering the acquisition of practical skills and decision-making abilities. These simulations standardize training protocols and ensure consistent evaluation of clinical competency, thereby improving patient safety. The integration of VR in medical training addresses challenges related to accessibility and inclusivity by democratizing access to high-quality education regardless of geographical or physical constraints. This study employs a semi-exploratory approach to assess the acceptance and effectiveness of VR simulations in healthcare training. The research underscores the positive impact of a strong sense of presence on behavioral intentions towards VR learning. However, it notes a negative correlation between spatial presence and knowledge improvement, underscoring the necessity for improved measurement tools and further research. As VR evolves within healthcare education, comprehending these dynamics becomes crucial for optimizing educational strategies and outcomes. In conclusion, VR technology holds immense promise for transforming healthcare education by offering unparalleled immersive experiences that enhance learning effectiveness and clinical competency. By addressing accessibility barriers and refining simulation methodologies, VR not only enriches educational experiences but also contributes significantly to improving patient care standards. Future research should continue to explore the nuanced aspects of VR integration in healthcare education.
