VIRTUAL REALITY AND INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGIES TO IMPROVE NURSING AND MIDWIFERY EDUCATION IN BULGARIA
Abstract
Using virtual reality applications in Nursing and Midwifery Education allows learners to acquire clinical skills in a safe and interactive environment. The application of virtual reality and modern technologies undoubtedly contributes to increasing the quality of the educational process for students majoring in Nursing and Midwifery education.
The research conducted among students in Bulgaria shows the desire of the respondents to use applications with virtual reality and other modern technological means in their studies.
A necessary condition for the use of virtual reality applications in the educational process is that teachers and students practice in advance the use of serious virtual reality games to be able to effectively use them later in the educational activity.
