Abstract
Virtual patients (VPs) are interactive computer simulation of real-life clinical scenarios for the purpose of healthcare and medical training, education or assessment. VPs are increasingly used in health care education but the VP system used have different designs and the instructional designs of VPs are often depending on the technical affordances the system used to create them. The aim of this study was therefore to design a model for virtual patients in nursing education that takes into account nursing and clinical reasoning theories. A virtual patient nursing model composed of three layers was developed. Layer 1 contains the patient story and ways of interacting with the data, layer 2 includes aspects of the iterative process of clinical reasoning and finally layer 2 includes measurable outcomes from such learning activity. The proposed virtual patient nursing model will allow the systematic development of different types of virtual patients from a common model and thereby create opportunities for sharing pedagogical designs across technical solutions.
