Popis: Background We designed a virtual simulation game (VSG) as presimulation preparation for a respiratory distress simulation for undergraduate nursing students. Method Three faculty members and three nursing students were observed playing the VSG, provided written feedback, and completed a usability survey. After implementation, learners (n = 92) completed the ClassRoom Instructional Support Perception scale for case study or VSG. Results Participants indicated that the VSG was easy to use (83.3%), fun (83.3%), useful to prepare students for simulation (83.3%), and rated higher than case study for usability (p = .011), engagement (p = .005), and learning (p = .021). Conclusion Presimulation preparation with VSG was feasible, and highly rated by nursing students.
