Abstract
Objective: This study addresses the lack of validated tools to assess satisfaction with virtual reality (VR) applications in occupational health and safety (OHS) training.
Methods: A 22-item satisfaction scale was developed through item generation, expert review, and pilot testing. Data were collected from 258 participants who completed VR-based OHS training between February and June 2024. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were conducted, along with internal consistency checks using Cronbach's alpha.
Results: The scale explained 70.657% of the total variance. Internal consistency was high, with Cronbach's alpha values of 0.958 for Effectiveness-Learning, 0.928 for Perceived Satisfaction, 0.778 for Ease of Perception, and 0.966 overall.
Conclusions: The developed scale is a valid and reliable instrument for evaluating satisfaction with VR-based OHS training, supporting the improvement of training effectiveness and learner-centered design.
