Background: Online platform-based nursing practicum education has increased since the Coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) out- break. Virtual simulation-based learning helps enable students’ self-directed and repetitive learning. However, most virtual simulation-based learning focuses on clinical practicum, despite the need to apply biological nursing education. The aim of this study was to examine the effects of a clinical pharmacology course applying virtual simulation-based learning needs, learning competency, clinical reasoning ability, and self-regulated learning ability among nursing students.
Methods: A one-group pre-and post-test design was used in this study. Data collection was conducted from April to May 2021, and 35 nursing students participated in this study. A collaborative learning program based on a cooperative integrated reading and composition (CIRC) model using virtual simulation-based learning was applied to a clinical pharmacology course. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and paired t-tests with SPSS 25.0.
Results: The findings indicated that virtual simulation-based learning needs (t=-4.40, p<.001), learning competency (t=-5.21, p<.001), clinical reasoning ability (t=-6.15, p<.001), and self-regulated learning ability (t=-2.79, p=.008) significantly increased after participating in the program.
Conclusion: It was found that applying virtual simulation-based learning in a clinical pharmacology course affects students’ learning needs, learning competency, clinical reasoning ability, and self-regulated learning ability. Therefore, it is suggested that more virtual simulation-based learning (programs) be conducted in nursing education.
