Abstract(s)

This paper describes part of a doctoral study where the effect of AR in nursing student’s decision making skills was investigated, by comparing the usage of a virtual simulator ( in wound care diagnosis and treatment, with and without the support of AR to visualize the wounds. A literature review was conducted to identify, select and critically analyse the effectiveness of AR in medical education.The goal of this investigation was to verify if AR enhances the development of clinical decision-making skills in wound diagnosis and treatment. The results showed that AR enhanced students’ performance in wound diagnostic parameters, with highly statistically significant differences (P < 0.001) in the Mann-Whitney U and Wilcoxon tests.
