Virtual Reality Application in Chemotherapy Administration in Nurse Staff

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Chemotherapy Training
• Interventions: Behavioral: VR training program; Behavioral: usual care

• Registration Number: NCT04840732
• Lead Sponsor: Taipei Medical University

Brief Summary

The present study wants to design a training program for chemotherapy with using VR among nurse staff. Then the investigators design a protocol to compare the training effects in the VR program and ISO document.

Detailed Description

As technology advances, mobile devices have gradually turned into wearable devices. Furthermore, virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and mixed reality (MR) are being increasingly applied in medical fields such as medical education and training, surgical simulation, neurological rehabilitation, psychotherapy, and telemedicine. Research results demonstrate the ability of VR, AR, and MR to ameliorate the inconveniences that are often associated with traditional medical care, reduce incidents of medical malpractice caused by unskilled operations, and reduce the cost of medical education and training. What is more, the application of these technologies has enhanced the effectiveness of medical education and training, raised the level of diagnosis and treatment, improved the doctor-patient relationship, and boosted the efficiency of medical execution. The present study wants to design a training program for chemotherapy with using VR. Then the investigators design a protocol to compare the training effects in VR program and ISO document.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Experimental: Intervention	VR training program	The experimental group uses the VR program to training chemotherapy skill. Use VR software to make a training education program.
No Intervention: usual care	usual care	Chemotherapy training as usual care (for training chemotherapy skill).

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Objective Structured Clinical Examination score (OSCE score)	One month	One month after intervention, we assess the OSCE score from participates, range from 0 to 100, higher score means better grade.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Self-assessment skill score	One month	The confidence of Self-assessment skill score after intervention. Range from 0 to 100, higher score means better grade.
