Application of Virtual Reality Scenarios
Marcus, Jamie Anne
Distance Learning, v18 n4 p27-30 2021
Technology-driven videos can promote a quick animated reception, perceptions of sensorial familiarity, and kinesthetic awareness that synergize these constructs. Scripted educational virtual reality scenarios can, therefore, encourage viewer recognition and understanding of the emotional effect of the COVID-19 pandemic. Litz et al. (2009) posit that prospective morally injurious situations can include the continuance of lack of prevention or witnessing events that can transgress deeply into previously held moral beliefs. Griffen et al. further that the morally traumatized need interventions so they may begin to repair feelings of guilt/shame, betrayal, and isolation. Soul Injury was identified by hospice nurses who cared for thousands of near-death combat and traumatized veterans. Observed traits of these vulnerable populations included loss of identity, brokenness, emptiness, and continual fear. The Hospice nurses promoted healing therapeutic stages of reowning, rehoming, and revitalizing to assist the veterans with their Soul Injuries (Opus Peace, 2020). Marcus (2021) further delineates that the reowning phase can include returning to their jobs, seeking new employment, smart-shopping, and activity pathways, new insights into safety, use of protective personal equipment, vaccinations/boosters, the establishment of national COVID testing and vaccination pathways. Engaging multi-disciplinary healthcare students in virtual reality scenarios with visual inclusion of Soul Injury staging will promote new care pathways for healthcare workers, families, and the public affected by the present pandemic. The COVID-19 and variant pandemics effects include insurmountable loss of life, loss of economic stability, loss of everyday lifestyle, family function, and culture. Therefore, developing the Soul Injury pathway of care for patients, ancillary healthcare workers, families, and the general public affected by the present pandemic and subsequent variants is mandated. The application of virtual reality scenarios coupled with pandemic viral education will assist with a recognition that a massive form of Soul Injury has occurred and the need for the creation of therapeutic recovery pathways of care.
