Abstract

Background

Healthcare simulations are pivotal tools in healthcare professionals' training. This study aims to assess the effect of integrating Video Assistant Referee (VAR) technology in healthcare simulations on nursing students' clinical skills.

Aim

This study evaluates the impact of integrating VAR technology into healthcare simulations on nursing students' clinical performance.

Methodology

Forty nursing students were randomly divided into two groups: an experimental group using VAR (n = 20) and a control group without VAR (n = 20). Clinical performance was assessed using a standardized evaluation grid focusing on cardiac arrest management.

Results

The VAR group demonstrated significantly better performance (M = 85.2, SD = 3.6) compared to the control group (M = 72.8, SD = 4.2), p < 0.001. VAR technology enabled precise assessment, real-time error correction, and effective feedback, which led to enhanced skill acquisition and clinical performance.

Conclusion

The findings highlight the importance of technological innovations like VAR in healthcare education. This study demonstrates VAR's potential to improve clinical training quality and prepare healthcare professionals for complex real-world scenarios.

提高护理模拟的临床表现：视频助理裁判（VAR）技术的影响

医疗保健模拟是医疗保健专业人员培训的关键工具。本研究旨在评估在医疗模拟中整合视频助理裁判（VAR）技术对护生临床技能的影响。目的本研究旨在评估将VAR技术整合到医疗模拟中对护生临床表现的影响。方法40名护生随机分为实验组（n = 20）和对照组（n = 20）。临床表现评估采用标准化的评估网格侧重于心脏骤停管理。结果VAR组表现明显优于对照组（M = 72.8,SD = 4.2），M = 85.2,SD = 3.6,p <；0.001. VAR技术实现了精确评估、实时纠错和有效反馈，从而提高了技能习得和临床表现。结论研究结果突出了VAR等技术创新在医疗保健教育中的重要性。这项研究证明了VAR在提高临床培训质量和为复杂的现实世界场景做好准备的医疗保健专业人员方面的潜力。
