Abstract

As a new type of teaching tool,virtual simulation technology has been increasingly applied in nursing skills training. This paper summarizes the application status and optimization paths of virtual simulation technology in emergency disaster nursing training from four dimensions:application scenarios,empirical effects,existing challenges and development trends,aiming to provide theoretical reference and practical guidance for the modernization transformation of disaster nursing emergency capacity evaluation and training system in China.
