Description
Sophie Mårtensson and coauthors share a 2026 think-aloud study checking a questionnaire on virtual patient learning for nursing students. Virtual patients are digital cases for practice, here focused on intimate partner violence, a sensitive topic needing careful teaching tools. Few validated surveys exist for such simulations, so each question needed cognitive testing before wider use.
Eleven undergraduates at one nursing school in western Sweden spoke their thoughts aloud during solo digital interviews. The survey holds eleven background items plus eighteen main items on ease of use and fit within the study module. Students found wording clear and the form easy to follow overall. Some items still needed rewording, and both original and revised forms are shown for future users.
