What this Trial Is About

Researchers are studying how effective self-guided virtual reality (VR) simulation is compared to facilitator-guided VR simulation in teaching medical students to manage critically ill children. The trial aims to find out if self-guided VR can help students learn teamwork skills, assess their experience of ease of use, workload, motivation, and reflection, and measure how many experience cybersickness during training. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: self-guided debriefing or facilitator-guided debriefing. Both groups will first familiarize themselves with immersive VR simulation and watch a video tutorial covering pediatric ABCDE assessment, emergency teamwork, communication, and debriefing principles. Then, they will complete three pediatric emergency training scenarios using immersive VR, lasting approximately two hours. Participants will be videotaped before and after intervention day to assess teamwork skills and critical actions using various checklists and scales. They will complete questionnaires on debriefing, motivation, usability, workload, and VR sickness after training. The study is conducted by Rigshospitalet, Denmark, and includes a single intervention day with all assessments completed on that day.
