Clinical Trial Summary

The goal of this is to determine the effectiveness of virtual reality training simulator for cesarean section. Evaluate the effect of using VR surgery on the self-confidence and knowledge of cesarean section procedures.

Description:

A single center randomized controlled trial (RCT) was performed. The participants were obstetrics residents, fellows and residents in other majors with limited experience in performing cesarean section. The primary outcome measures were the self-assessment scores of trainee confidence using a virtual reality training and an objective assessment of the cognitive skills. The participants were randomly divided into a study group of VR training group and a control group. Participants in the study group used the VR application. The control group participants used similar content in a standard PowerPoint presentation on a laptop.
