Clinical Trial Summary

The hypothesis of this study is to reveal whether virtual reality(VR) based Advanced Life Support(ALS) serious game module can replace classroom-based ALS lecture, which is part of existing ALS training protocol in addition to skills training.


Clinical Trial Description

The participants consisting of students from Acibadem Mehmet Ali Aydinlar University Vocational School for Anesthesiology (N=29) were randomly divided into two groups with 15 (Conventional training group) and 14 (VR based training group) participants each. The members of the conventional group had to complete pretest at the beginning of the study. Afterwards they had to take part at an interactive classroom based lecture about ALS. The next step was the skills training with task trainers in order to teach them compression skills. Afterwards, the conventional group was divided into three blue code teams consisting of each 5 participants for the simulation session. Two independent instructors evaluated the video recordings in terms of technical and nontechnical skills. The final stage of the study were completing the post-test. The members of VR group had a similar study flow but they had to play with the VR based ALS serious game module instead of the theoretical lecture during the study flow. A survey about preference of VR based trainings was conducted for the members of the VR group. Mann Whitney U Test and Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test were used for statistical analysis of the two groups' performances in this study. ;
