All research done are so done to address a specific problem that has been identified and therefore the research exists to find solutions. This study was done to provide answers for a specific problem that the researcher had identified and was seeking to find a suitable solution. As such, the study acknowledged that clinical virtual simulation can provide a pedagogical that can facilitate knowledge retention, clinical reasoning, improve satisfaction and learning and foster improvements in self-efficacy. Having made these acknowledgements, the study continued to point out the scarcity in knowledge regarding effectiveness to satisfaction, self-efficacy, knowledge retention and clinical reasoning. Having cited a deficit in knowledge, the problem addressed by this study was addressing the effect of clinical virtual simulation regarding knowledge retention, clinical reasoning, self-efficacy and satisfaction with the learning experience among nursing students (Padilha, Machado, Ribeiro, Ramos, & Costa 2019).
