Filter by:SUBJECT: The Effect of Virtual Reality Based Interactive Therapeutic Dementia Patient Education Program on the Levels of Knowledge, Attitudes and Empathy towards Dementia OBJECTİVE: The research was planned to determine the effect of virtual reality-based interactive therapeutic dementia patient education program on the knowledge, attitude and empathy levels of nursing undergraduate students. DESIGN: Pretest and posttest randomized controlled trial BACKGROUD:It is inevitable to strengthen and enrich nursing education with innovative teaching approaches in understanding the needs of individuals with dementia and informal caregivers and providing qualified nursing care for dementia, which is more difficult and intangible to understand compared to chronic diseases.From this point of view, it is expected that the virtual reality-based interactive therapeutic dementia patient education program to be implemented in this study will have positive ethics in the knowledge, attitude and empathy levels of nursing undergraduate students. METHODS: The research will be carried out between 16.10.2023 and 16.10.2024 with 50 second year nursing students from the faculty of nursing. Students will be divided into control and intervention groups of 25 people in the form of block randomization.Students in the intervention group will implement a virtual reality-based interactive therapeutic dementia patient education program.Students in the control group will not be given any program other than the routine education program.Both groups will be asked to fill simultaneously the dementia knowledge assessment scale, the dementia attitude scale, and the Jefferson empathy scale for nursing students before and after administration.Statistical analysis of the data will be made.
The aim of this project is to determine the effect of virtual reality application in cervical dilatation and effacement teaching on students' satisfaction, confidence and anxiety levels.
University students, especially graduate students, are constantly striving to achieve their goals, and their performance is constantly being evaluated, which creates a plethora of stressors, such as tests, a large amount of content to be learnt, lack of time, getting poor marks, and living up to their expectations. Mindfulness has been demonstrated to benefit one's emotions in a 'non-judgement' way. Evidence suggests that VR-based mindfulness practice may help individuals maintain present-moment awareness and block out distractions and may be more effective than conventional mindfulness approaches. The current pilot study aims to test the feasibility and acceptability of VR-based mindfulness practices in graduate students.
A randomized control trial will be conducted in Assuta Ashdod hospital, in the department of obstetrics and gynecology. Pregnant and non pregnant women, undergoing one of the procedures (external cephalic version,amniocentesis or hysteroscopy), will be approached. All willing patients meeting the criteria will sign an informed consent form will. After signing informed consent patients will be randomly allocated into three groups:1) control (no use of VR). 2) use of VR googles without positive psychology. 3) use of VR googles with positive psychology. Before and after the procedure each group will answer pain and anxiety questionnaires. In addition, following, following each procedure, salivary cortisol levels will be measured.
ATTR amyloidosis is a serious condition with significant morbidity and mortality. In Germany, there are numerous unreported cases of untreated patients, and diagnosing and initiating treatment often requires multiple specialized tests. To address this, a study is being conducted to determine if virtual reality (VR)-based patient education can improve diagnosis rates, treatment initiation, and medication adherence compared to standard education methods.
The study aims to develop a virtual reality application for episiotomy training and to determine the effect of the virtual reality application on student satisfaction, self-confidence, and anxiety levels. It was found that there should be a total of at least 102 students, 51 of whom are Virtual Reality practice groups (experimental) and 51 Dana Language practice groups (control), who meet the inclusion criteria. Considering the losses, it was decided to include 110 students in the study.We are collected usıng a Personal Informatıon form, Student Satisfaction and Self-Confidence in Learning, State and Trait Anxiety Inventory- STAI I-II
As medical students rotate through different hospital sites as part of their studies, the students are frequently exposed to new and unfamiliar environments. This can cause anxiety in some students, and can potentially result in students becoming lost, and arriving late to their activities. To prevent this, students are currently provided with instructions in the form of written directions, photographs, maps, and/or 2-dimensional videos. In this study, the investigators will test if immersive 360-degree virtual reality videos (videos shown using a headset/goggles that allow the wearer to experience the video as though they were actually there), are better at teaching medical students how to navigate the hospital and find new locations, compared to normal, 2-dimensional video instructions. Medical students will be asked to find their way to two new locations within the hospital, after being given instructions using either 2-dimensional (standard) video or 360-degree virtual reality video. The investigators will measure how long it takes students to find the new locations, and how often the students get lost or confused along the way. If successful, the investigators believe that this new method of teaching will help students to get around in new places more easily and lessen student anxiety. This will also increase knowledge related to 360-degree virtual reality video for teaching medical students.
Immersive virtual reality (IVR) surgical simulators are increasingly being used for learner education. The aim of this randomized controlled trial is to compare the efficacy of IVR to hands-on orthopaedic workshop sessions (such as arthroscopy simulators, cadaveric models, and Sawbones®) in various orthopaedic subspecialties (such as sports, arthroplasty, and spine surgery). Overall, in this multi-stage comprehensive randomized controlled the aim is to assess: 1. If IVR simulation using head-mounted displays (HMD) is superior to the current standard of training for orthopaedic surgery residents and medical students. 2. Determine if it is feasible to incorporate immersive headset virtual reality simulation into residency training programs and medical school curriculums. 3. Assess the longitudinal application of IVR training on medical student and resident surgical education.
The specific aim of the clinical trial portion of the larger research project is to obtain preliminary data on the utility of voice training (resonant voice) in the VR environment compared to a traditional clinical environment, using a mixed model within- and between-subjects randomized experimental design. Independent Variables are (1) training and test condition (clinic room vs VR classroom for training); (2) visual speaker-to-listener distance (2m, 4m, and 6m for training); and (3) time point (baseline at 2 m, retention test at 4 m, and 9 m for transfer test). Dependent Variables are (a) vocal sound pressure level (SPL); and (b) spectral moments (spectral mean and standard deviation (in Hz and cents), skewness, and kurtosis). The hypothesis is that a two-way interaction will be shown between training condition and time point showing greater acquisition and transfer of voice skills following training in the VR environment than in the typical clinical environment. This series will utilize a high degree of innovation and sophisticated VR technology to identify parameters important for subsequent VR development in voice therapy, and to lay the empirical foundation for subsequent studies that build on the present work expanding both its basic science and translational value.
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of an immersive virtual-reality (IVR) based stimulation program, in improving visual perception for people who have lost their driver's license due to perceptual or cognitive impairments. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Can the 6-week IVR stimulation program help improve driving performance? 2. Will participants experience improvement in visual detection and perception after training? Study Design Summary: - Participants will be randomized into a waitlist group or intervention-first group - The VR-based intervention will consist of training every 2 days for six weeks - Waitlist group will wait 6 weeks before starting intervention at study midpoint (week 7) - Intervention-first group will begin with intervention (week 1-6) and then stop intervention at study midpoint - Participants will complete tests related to driving performance, visual attention, and visual fields at the start of study, midpoint, and end of study Researchers will analyze data for changes from baseline in outcome measures.
