Immersive virtual reality training: Addressing challenges and unlocking potentials.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Simulation-based training has significantly improved healthcare professionals' skills and patient outcomes. Immersive virtual reality is gaining attention in this field and offers potential educational benefits. However, little is known about how key stakeholders in simulation-based training and debriefing receive a complex intervention like immersive virtual reality. This study explores the enablers, barriers and applied debriefing strategies involved in using immersive virtual reality in simulation-based training.

Methods

We purposefully sampled simulation centre directors, course leaders and researchers within debriefing, simulation-based emergency training and immersive virtual reality. First, they observed and debriefed an online immersive virtual reality-bas
