摘　　要：Integration of virtual reality(VR)technology into preoperative patient education has shown potential to improve nursing practice.The study by Kim et al examines the impact of VR on nurse satisfaction,usability,and burnout.A prospective study involving 20 nurses and 80 patients was conducted,comparing traditional paper-based education with VR-based education in the plastic surgery ward at Chungnam National University Hospital.Findings demonstrated that VR significantly enhanced satisfaction and usability among nurses,while also reducing emotional exhaustion,a critical factor in nurse burnout.Consistency in education quality was also improved,ensuring uniform patient care.These results underscore the importance of VR in reducing the stress of repetitive tasks,improving job satisfaction,and potentially enhancing nurse retention.Future research should explore the broader applications of VR in healthcare and address the logistical challenges of integrating this technology into routine clinical practice.The study by Kim et al highlights VR’s transformative potential in preoperative education for both patients and healthcare providers.
