Abstract
Medical education is changing today and the use of virtual reality in the training of nurses is rapidly increasing. Therefore, it is important to determine whether training through virtual reality simulations is equivalent or better than traditional training programs. Research shows that the use of virtual reality in nurse/technician education provides repetitive, hands-on training to develop cognitive abilities and skill mastery, commonly defined as a measure of the participant's understanding of concepts and ability to demonstrate a procedure or technique. In this scoping review, according to the established criteria, 5 studies were included in the final analysis that support the implementation of virtual reality for training nursing students to work in operating rooms. It is recommended that additional research be conducted to determine faculty and student readiness for the implementation of virtual realty in graduate nursing education and the benefits of such education for enhancing nursing competencies.
