Resumo

The present work is an integrative review that aims to answer the following guiding question: how is virtual reality being applied as an educational technology in the health area? The databases used for the search were Pubmed, Virtual Health Library (VHL) in the health area, IEEEXplore and ACM Digital Library in the technology area. For this work, the following inclusion criteria were established: studies on the use of simulators as educational technology; free access articles; be available online in full; be in Portuguese and / or English; published from 2015 to 2020. Articles of literature review, dissertations, theses and editorials were excluded. A total of 1,563 articles were obtained, of which 21 went on to descriptive analysis. Most of the articles came from the Pubmed database, fourteen, six articles were added from the VHL and only one study was included from the ACM. The discussion of the results emerged from two categories: Characterization of the use of virtual reality in the area of health and Considerations on the applicability of virtual reality in the area of health. As a contribution, this review may serve as a guide for the expansion of virtual reality, while pointing out the potential and weaknesses of its use as training technology in the health area.
