ABSTRACT
The purpose of this study is to verify the experience and training needs of virtual reality (VR)-based programs for nursing students and to obtain preliminary information to develop a practical training program for medication based on VR. Data collection was conducted for 168 nursing students from June to September, 2017. As a result, 7.7% experienced VR education programs and 76.6% answered that they did not have any opportunity. 58.0% reported that they should solve the problem related to wearing the VR device and the health problems such as dizziness (30.0%). The virtual reality program is better to be applied to the fundamental nursing practice (34.0%). there was a high demand for voluntary practice for medication nursing. It is necessary to have a program that can confirm their own abilities before the fundamental nursing practice test (15.6%) and to solve the question of whether they are practicing correctly (38.5%). The results of this study can be used to provide a basis by developing a self-directed practice program for VR-based medication reflecting the needs of learners and suggest a new direction of nursing education by combining the integrated research with advanced science.
