Abstract

Objective: This pilot implementation study introduces a novel, neonatal-specific virtual reality (VR) simulation platform for resuscitation training and assesses its initial feasibility and reception in a neonatal intensive care unit setting.

Study design: We developed a custom VR model simulating a resuscitation scenario for a 30-week neonate. Neonatal providers completed individualized training sessions and post-training surveys.

Results: Thirty-eight neonatal providers participated in the study. The VR platform was well-received, with 97% willing to use it again and 95% recommending it. Most participants (70.3%) found VR more realistic than traditional methods, with an average usefulness rating of 4.5/5. However, 40.5% reported adverse effects like eye strain and motion sickness. Feedback led to three significant VR platform upgrades.

Conclusion: This study demonstrates strong enthusiasm for VR among neonatal providers. While promising, further research with larger samples and comparisons to traditional methods is needed to fully evaluate VR's effectiveness in neonatal resuscitation training.

新生儿复苏计划培训虚拟现实模拟平台试点研究。

目的：本试验性实施研究介绍了一种用于复苏培训的新型新生儿专用虚拟现实（VR）模拟平台，并评估了其在新生儿重症监护室环境中的初步可行性和接受程度：研究设计：我们开发了一个定制的 VR 模型，模拟 30 周新生儿的复苏情景。新生儿医护人员完成了个性化培训课程和培训后调查：结果：38 名新生儿医护人员参与了这项研究。VR 平台广受欢迎，97% 的人愿意再次使用，95% 的人推荐使用。大多数参与者（70.3%）认为 VR 比传统方法更逼真，平均实用度为 4.5/5。不过，40.5% 的人表示会出现眼睛疲劳和晕动症等不良反应。反馈意见促使 VR 平台进行了三次重大升级：这项研究表明，新生儿医疗服务提供者对 VR 的热情很高。虽然前景广阔，但仍需进行更大规模的研究，并与传统方法进行比较，以全面评估 VR 在新生儿复苏培训中的有效性。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Perinatology provides members of the perinatal/neonatal healthcare team with original information pertinent to improving maternal/fetal and neonatal care. We publish peer-reviewed clinical research articles, state-of-the art reviews, comments, quality improvement reports, and letters to the editor. Articles published in the Journal of Perinatology embrace the full scope of the specialty, including clinical, professional, political, administrative and educational aspects. The Journal also explores legal and ethical issues, neonatal technology and product development. The Journal’s audience includes all those that participate in perinatal/neonatal care, including, but not limited to neonatologists, perinatologists, perinatal epidemiologists, pediatricians and pediatric subspecialists, surgeons, neonatal and perinatal nurses, respiratory therapists, pharmacists, social workers, dieticians, speech and hearing experts, other allied health professionals, as well as subspecialists who participate in patient care including radiologists, laboratory medicine and pathologists.
