Abstract

Immersive technology is a growing field in healthcare education—attracting educationalists to evaluate its utility. There has been a trend of increasing research in this field; however, a lack of quality assurance surrounding the literature prompted the narrative review. Web Of Science database searches were undertaken from 2002 to the beginning of 2022. The studies were divided into three mixed reality groups: virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), 360 videos, and learning theory subgroups. Appraising 246 studies with the Medical Education Research Study Quality Instrument (MERSQI) indicated a gap in the validation of measures used to evaluate the technology. Although, those conducted in VR or those detailing learning theories scored higher according to MERSQI. There is an educational benefit to immersive technology in the healthcare setting. However, there needs to be caution in how the findings are interpreted for application beyond the initial study and a greater emphasis on research methods.
沉浸式技术促进医疗保健教育学习的述评
沉浸式技术在医疗保健教育中是一个不断发展的领域,吸引着教育学家对其效用进行评估。这一领域的研究有增加的趋势;然而,缺乏质量保证的文献促使叙述性审查。从2002年到2022年初进行了Web Of Science数据库搜索。这些研究被分为三个混合现实组:虚拟现实(VR)、增强现实(AR)、360视频和学习理论子组。用医学教育研究质量工具(MERSQI)评估246项研究表明,用于评估该技术的措施在验证方面存在差距。尽管在MERSQI中,那些在VR中进行的或详细介绍学习理论的测试得分更高。在医疗保健环境中,沉浸式技术具有教育效益。然而,在如何将这些发现解释为最初研究之外的应用时需要谨慎,并更加强调研究方法。
