摘要

传统上，为学生准备临床x线摄影实习包括学术课程和使用x线设备的实践实践。然而，实习前接触临床环境的机会有限，这对学生来说是一个挑战。为了解决这一差距，本研究旨在开发和评估一个360°虚拟参观平台，作为补充教育工具，以提高学生对放射科的熟悉程度，并在进入临床实习前提高他们的信心。方法利用当地放射诊所的360°全景照片，创建虚拟放射科。为了衡量这个工具的有效性，学生们完成了参观前和参观后的调查，评估他们对临床环境的理解，对x光室布局的熟悉程度，以及准备实习的信心。结果参与研究的90%的学生报告说，360°虚拟之旅有助于提高他们准备实习的信心，并补充他们对临床环境的了解。这次参观让他们对x光室的布局、工作流程和基本设备有了更清晰的了解，有助于减少实习前的焦虑。对虚拟之旅的总体满意度很高，100%的学生愿意再次使用。结论360°虚拟漫游是学生过渡到临床实践的宝贵“踏脚石”。此具成本效益及用途广泛的教学工具可加强学生的准备，并可作为放射学教育的补充资源。这些发现对于将虚拟现实工具整合到医疗保健教育中具有更广泛的意义。未来的研究应探索其在不同学科的应用，并评估其对学生学习成果的长期影响。

Use of 360° interactive virtual tours to enhance familiarity of the radiology department

Introduction

Traditionally, preparing students for clinical placements in radiography has involved a combination of academic coursework and hands-on practice using X-ray equipment with facilities. However, limited access to clinical environments before placements can make the transition challenging for students. To address this gap, this study aimed to develop and evaluate a 360° virtual tour platform as a supplementary educational tool to enhance students’ familiarity with radiology departments and improve their confidence before entering clinical placements.

Methods

A virtual radiology department was created using 360° panoramic photographs of local radiology clinics. To measure the effectiveness of this tool, students completed pre-tour and post-tour surveys assessing their understanding of the clinical setting, familiarity with X-ray room layouts, and confidence in preparing for placements.

Results

90 % of the students who participated in the study reported the 360° virtual tour was beneficial in improving their confidence in preparing for placements and supplementing their knowledge of the clinical environment. The tour provided them with a clearer understanding of the layout of X-ray rooms, workflow, and essential equipment, helping to reduce anxiety before placements. Overall satisfaction with the virtual tour was high with 100 % of students willing to use it again.

Conclusion

The results suggest that a 360° virtual tour serves as a valuable ‘stepping-stone’ for students transitioning to clinical practice. This cost-effective and versatile teaching tool can enhance student preparedness and may be adopted as a supplementary resource in radiography education.

Implications for practice

The findings have broader implications for integrating virtual reality tools in healthcare education. Future research should explore its application across various disciplines and assess its long-term impact on student learning outcomes.
