Immersive virtual reality simulation training for cesarean section: a randomized controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Cesarean section (CS) is a complex surgical procedure that involves many steps and requires careful precision. Virtual reality (VR) simulation has emerged as a promising tool for medical education and training, providing a realistic and immersive environment for learners to practice clinical skills and decision-making. This study aimed to evaluate the educational effectiveness of a VR simulation program in training the management of patients with premature rupture of membranes (PROM) and CS.

Materials and methods

A two-arm parallel randomized controlled trial was conducted with 105 eligible participants randomly assigned to the VR group (n=53) or the control group (n=52) in a 1:1 ratio. The VR group received VR simulation training focused on PROM management and CS
