Abstract

Objective: This study aims to systematically evaluate the influence of metaverse-based teaching tools on the medical teaching effect and the improvement of students' ability, providing evidence-based support for curriculum development.

Methods: A comprehensive search of PubMed, Cochrane, Embase and Web of Science databases was conducted up to 9 March 2025. Two researchers independently screened articles, extracted data, and assessed bias using the Cochrane Handbook 5.1.0 checklist. Data analysis was performed using RevMan 5.3.

Results: Thirty studies involving 1,560 participants. The metaverse was applied in various areas such as surgery training, anatomy teaching and communication skills. Common metaverse approaches include AR, VR, MR etc, with simulated teaching times ranging from as little as 10 min to lasting several weeks. Most studies reported improved student guidance, reduced training time, and enhanced learning interest, and confidence.

Conclusion: Metaverse technology proves effective for medical teaching, offering theoretical support for further research.

meta - verse在医学教育中的应用：系统综述。

目的：本研究旨在系统评价基于meta的教学工具对医学教学效果和学生能力提升的影响，为课程开发提供循证支持。方法：对截至2025年3月9日的PubMed、Cochrane、Embase和Web of Science数据库进行综合检索。两位研究者独立筛选文章，提取数据，并使用Cochrane手册5.1.0检查表评估偏倚。数据分析采用RevMan 5.3软件。结果：30项研究涉及1560名参与者。在外科培训、解剖学教学、沟通技巧等多个领域均有应用。常见的虚拟现实方法包括AR、VR、MR等，模拟教学时间从10分钟到持续数周不等。大多数研究报告改进了学生指导，减少了培训时间，增强了学习兴趣和信心。结论：超宇宙技术在医学教学中是有效的，为进一步研究提供了理论支持。

期刊介绍： Clinical Medicine is aimed at practising physicians in the UK and overseas and has relevance to all those managing or working within the healthcare sector. Available in print and online, the journal seeks to encourage high standards of medical care by promoting good clinical practice through original research, review and comment. The journal also includes a dedicated continuing medical education (CME) section in each issue. This presents the latest advances in a chosen specialty, with self-assessment questions at the end of each topic enabling CPD accreditation to be acquired.
