Redesign of a virtual reality basic life support module for medical training - a feasibility study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Healthcare providers, including medical students, should maintain their basic life support (BLS) skills and be able to perform BLS in case of cardiac arrest. Research shows that the use of virtual reality (VR) has advantages such as improved accessibility, practice with lifelike situations, and real-time feedback during individual training sessions. A VR BLS module incorporating these advantages, called Virtual Life Support, has been developed especially for the medical domain. Virtual Life Support was collaboratively developed by software developers and stakeholders within the field of medical education. For this study, we explored whether the first version of this module capitalised on the advantages of VR and aimed to develop an understanding of barriers to feasibilit
