The development of a computer-assisted instruction system for clinical nursing skills with virtual instruments concepts: A case study for intra-aortic balloon pumping.
The purpose of this research was to develop a computer-aided instruction system for intra-aortic balloon pumping (IABP) skills in clinical nursing with virtual instrument (VI) concepts. Computer graphic technologies were incorporated to provide not only static clinical nursing education, but also the simulated function of operating an expensive medical instrument with VI techniques. The content of nursing knowledge was adapted from current well-accepted clinical training materials. The VI functions were developed using computer graphic technology with photos of real medical instruments taken by digital camera. We wish the system could provide beginners of nursing education important teaching assistance.
