Effect of Virtual Reality Simulation Versus Traditional Education on Rates of Clostridium difficile Infection: An Experimental Cluster Randomized Controlled Trial and Return on Investment Analysis.
Journal of Continuing Education in Nursing 2024 March 8
BACKGROUND: Virtual reality simulation (VRS) is an innovative modality in nursing professional development that has the potential to affect patient outcomes.
METHOD: An experimental cluster randomized controlled trial was performed with RNs on two inpatient units at a large academic health system. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of VRS compared with traditional education on Clostridium difficile rates. Return on investment of nursing professional development activities was also measured to support decision-making and resource allocation.
RESULTS: Rates of C. difficile infection were significantly lower for both groups for the 3-month postintervention period compared with the 10-month period preintervention. Financial analysis showed a return on investment for both modalities, with VRS having higher yields over time.
CONCLUSION: Findings showed that VRS was an effective instructional method. [ J Contin Educ Nurs. 202x;5x(x):xx-xx.] .
