Tiivistelmä
The aim of this thesis project was to create educational material about the operating room environment in a form of a 360-degree virtual tour to nursing students of Centria university of applied sciences. The virtual tour offers an immersive experience for students to learn more about the overall look of operating rooms as well as the accessories and equipment and medication used in surgical settings. The objective of the thesis is to help students visualize operational environment and nurses' responsibilities in the operating room. The interactive virtual tour offers an opportunity to educate students by using interactive material as a tool to provide new information. Offering students different forms of obtaining knowledge promotes an educational style that takes into account students varying learning styles.
The interactive virtual tour allows the student to “move” in the virtual tour as they please and to familiarize themselves with the environment and different equipment and their purpose in the operating room. The virtual tour also focuses on providing the student with some knowledge on the most common medications used in surgical settings. The goal of our thesis project was to equip students with knowledge about the operating room setting before they enter the operating room environment in their clinical practices.
The interactive virtual tour was produced in Kokkola at Soite hospitals operating room. Soite central hospital provided an opportunity to produce the project in an operating room that is in regular use. The real environment offers a realistic view of the working environment of the operating room staff and equips the student with up-to-date knowledge about what the operating room environment is like currently.
