Influence of Learning Immersion and Learning Satisfaction on Learning Persistence Intention among Nursing Students Who Experienced Virtual Reality Childbirth Education
Purpose: Thjs study aimed to examine the levels of learning immersion, learning satisfaction, and learning persistence intention among nursing students who experienced virtual reality childbirth education. In addition, the study aimed to identify the relationships among these variables and to determine the influence of learning immersion and learning satisfaction on learning persistence intention. Differences in learning immersion, learning satisfaction, and learning persistence intention according to the general characteristics of the nursing students were also examined. Methods: This descriptive correlational study was conducted with 174 nursing students who experienced virtual reality–based childbirth education. Data were collected to assess learning immersion, learning satisfaction, and learning persistence intention. Results: The mean score for learning immersion was 16.58±3.21 out of 20 points. The mean score for learning satisfaction was 12.07±2.71 out of 15 points, and the mean score for learning persistence intention was 15.71±3.73 out of 20 points. Learning immersion, learning satisfaction, and learning persistence intention showed statistically significant positive correlations with one another(p<.001). Multiple regression analysis revealed that learning satisfaction had a significant influence on nursing students’ learning persistence intention (β=0.97, t=13.49, p<.001). The regression model was statistically significant (F=447.39, p<.001), and the explanatory power was 84%. Conclusion: This findings suggest that nursing students' learning satisfaction with virtual reality–based childbirth education has a significant positive influence on their learning persistence intention.
