背景：在实施之前，应试验模拟和新技术，以确保其可用性和有效性。模拟主义者和增强现实(AR)研究人员为护理从业者(NP)学生开发了一个增强现实(AR)分诊场景。参与者完成了几个工具来评估AR模式的可用性和学习情景的有效性。结果：12名受试者(8名学生，4名志愿者)得到的结果喜忧参半。在可用性方面存在一些问题，并且出现了技术挑战。汇报被发现是有效的，并对模拟真实感给予了好评。随着更多的练习，对内容和技术的进一步准备被推断出来。那些报道过AR经验的人发现这种体验更有效。结论：AR模式的可用性需要进一步改进。汇报可以是有效的，模拟可以是真实的。参与者需要在分类和使用该技术方面做进一步的准备，还需要更多的练习。AR模拟有希望在NP教育中使用。
Background: Before implementation, simulations and new technologies should be piloted for usability and effectiveness. Simulationists and augmented reality (AR) researchers developed an augmented reality (AR) triage scenario for Nurse Practitioner (NP) students.Methods: A mixed-method, exploratory, pilot study was carried out with NP students and other volunteers. Participants completed several tools to appraise the usability of the AR modality and the effectiveness of the scenario for learning. Open-ended questions were asked, and qualitative themes were obtained via content analysis.Results: Mixed results were received by the twelve participants (8 students, 4 other volunteers). There were some issues with usability, and technical challenges occurred. The debriefing was found to be effective, and favorable comments were made on simulation realism. Further preparation for the content and technology, along with more practice, was inferred. Those with reported previous AR experience found the experience more effective.Conclusions: Further improvements are needed with usability of the AR modality. Debriefing can be effective and the simulation realistic. Participants need further preparation in triaging and use of the technology, and more practice is needed. AR simulations have promise for use in NP education.
