Abstract

Objective: Integration of head-mounted virtual reality (VR) devices has been revolutionary in health professions education. In disaster preparedness training, VR simulation-based learning exposes health care professionals to the unique challenges of diverse scenarios, enhancing their adaptability. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a head-mounted VR tool for teaching basic radiation emergency medicine skills to medical students.

Methods: The participants were 64 medical students (5th-year) who underwent a 3-hour training session in radiation emergency medicine that was conducted via head-mounted VR devices. Students scored their perceived emotion, performance, and self-efficacy at various time points in a self-reported online questionnaire.

Results: Comparison of survey responses before and after the session showed significant differences in terms of neutral emotion (P = 0.011), negative activating emotions (P < 0.001), and negative deactivating emotions (P = 0.004). The post-hoc test revealed statistically significant differences in negative activating emotions between before and during (P < 0.05), and between before and after (P < 0.05) the VR simulation. In addition, negative deactivation and neutral emotions changed significantly after the simulation.

Conclusions: The use of head-mounted VR devices was effective in modulating medical students' emotions and contributed to improving their perceived performance in radiation emergency medicine.

基于虚拟现实的培训对学习辐射急救医学的医学生情绪的影响：一项教育实验研究。

目的：头戴式虚拟现实（VR）设备的集成在卫生专业教育中具有革命性意义。在备灾培训中，基于 VR 的模拟学习能让医疗保健专业人员接触到不同场景的独特挑战，从而提高他们的适应能力。本研究旨在评估头戴式 VR 工具在向医学生传授辐射急救医学基本技能方面的有效性：参与者为 64 名医学生（五年级），他们通过头戴式 VR 设备接受了 3 小时的辐射急救医学培训课程。学生们在不同的时间点通过自我报告的在线问卷对自己的感知情绪、表现和自我效能进行评分：对比课程前后的调查反馈，发现在中性情绪（P = 0.011）、消极激活情绪（P < 0.001）和消极失活情绪（P = 0.004）方面存在显著差异。事后检验显示，在 VR 模拟之前和模拟过程中（P < 0.05），以及在 VR 模拟之前和模拟之后（P < 0.05），消极激活情绪在统计学上存在显著差异。此外，负面失活情绪和中性情绪在模拟后也发生了显著变化：结论：使用头戴式 VR 设备能有效调节医学生的情绪，有助于提高他们在放射急救医学方面的感知能力。

期刊介绍： Disaster Medicine and Public Health Preparedness is the first comprehensive and authoritative journal emphasizing public health preparedness and disaster response for all health care and public health professionals globally. The journal seeks to translate science into practice and integrate medical and public health perspectives. With the events of September 11, the subsequent anthrax attacks, the tsunami in Indonesia, hurricane Katrina, SARS and the H1N1 Influenza Pandemic, all health care and public health professionals must be prepared to respond to emergency situations. In support of these pressing public health needs, Disaster Medicine and Public Health Preparedness is committed to the medical and public health communities who are the stewards of the health and security of citizens worldwide.
