Introduction and Purpose/Objectives: Amidst escalating climate change and disasters, disaster nursing proficiency is vital for gauging public health emergency responses. Traditional training faces resource scarcity, safety issues, and struggles to replicate complex scenarios, hindering skill development. Cave Automatic Virtual Environment (CAVE) systems, with their high levels of immersion and interactivity, presents a novel solution for disaster nursing education. This study aims to leverage the ADDIE instructional design model (comprising Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation) to develop a CAVE-based virtual reality scenario tailored for disaster nursing, with the objective of augmenting nurses’ abilities in nursing competence within disaster contexts.
Approaches/Methods: The study comprised a systematic literature review for need benchmarking, practitioner interviews for real-world requirements, and expert panels for design refinement. Following content curation, scripting, and technical realization via 3D modeling and C# coding, exhaustive testing guaranteed functionality and user fit, resulting in a tailored, immersive VR platform for disaster nursing education.
Results/Findings: By employing the ADDIE framework, this work generated a CAVE-based virtual reality simulation for disaster nursing, achieving striking fidelity through advanced visualization techniques and physics emulation, thereby significantly enhancing the authenticity and interactive dimensions of the learning experience. Further augmented with an integrated Learning Management System (LMS), the solution enables tailored tracking and evaluation mechanisms, forming a cornerstone for personalized training advancement in the realm of disaster nursing education.
Discussion/Implication: The research enables personalized, high-stress scenario training in a safe space, bridging the theory-practice gap. It introduces innovative teaching methods for future healthcare workers, readying them for dynamic disaster challenges, ensuring real-world relevance and individual learner fit, enhancing crisis response preparedness and resilience.
