Résumé

Asthma is a major chronic disease affecting 8.6% of children in the United States. The purpose of this research was to assess the use of clinical simulation scenarios using augmented reality technology to evaluate learning outcomes for nurse practitioner students studying pediatric asthma management. A mixed-methods pilot study was conducted with 2 cohorts of graduate pediatric nurse practitioner students (N=21), with each cohort participating for 2 semesters. Significant improvements in pediatric asthma test scores (P<.001) of student learning were found in both cohorts at posttest in both semesters. Student satisfaction with the augmented reality technology was found to be high. The focus group discussions revealed that the simulation was realistic and helpful for a flipped classroom approach. The study results suggest augmented reality simulation to be valuable in teaching pediatric asthma management content in graduate nursing education.

BACKGROUND BACKGROUND
Asthma is a major chronic disease affecting 8.6% of children in the United States.
OBJECTIVE OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this research was to assess the use of clinical simulation scenarios using augmented reality technology to evaluate learning outcomes for nurse practitioner students studying pediatric asthma management.
METHODS METHODS
A mixed-methods pilot study was conducted with 2 cohorts of graduate pediatric nurse practitioner students (N=21), with each cohort participating for 2 semesters.
RESULTS RESULTS
Significant improvements in pediatric asthma test scores (P<.001) of student learning were found in both cohorts at posttest in both semesters. Student satisfaction with the augmented reality technology was found to be high. The focus group discussions revealed that the simulation was realistic and helpful for a flipped classroom approach.
CONCLUSIONS CONCLUSIONS
The study results suggest augmented reality simulation to be valuable in teaching pediatric asthma management content in graduate nursing education.
