Traditional In-Person Vs. Remote AR Clinical Simulation

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Educational Problems
• Interventions: Behavioral: Augmented Reality Headset

• Registration Number: NCT06326450
• Lead Sponsor: Stanford University

Brief Summary

This is a non-inferiority, international, controlled trial that aims to evaluate the progression of physicians and residents through an Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) clinical simulated scenario. The study's primary objective is to compare the performance outcomes between two groups: participants in the traditional in-person simulation and those immersed in the Augmented Reality (AR) scenario

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Experimental: Augmented Reality Enhanced Simulation (Treatment group)	Augmented Reality Headset	Participants will experience augmented simulations with a holographic mixed-reality setting based on different workplace scenarios such as medical crisis via Augmented Reality (AR) headset.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Progression through the ACLS clinical simulation demonstrated by NTS and TS	immediately after simulation	Measured with Instrument for the evaluation of advanced life support performance. The instrument consists of 69 items, which are rated on a scale from +2 to -2. A total assessment score of performance is given based on a scale from 0 to 10 (0=poor, 10=excellent) at the end of the instrument.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Demonstration of NTS during ACLS scenario	immediately after simulation	Measured with individual Behaviorally Anchored Rating Scale (BARS). The BARS scoring system uses four categories assessing situation awareness, decision-making, communication and teamwork. The score ranges from 1 and 9 (1 = poor and 9 = excellent)
Evaluation of the AR system's usability	immediately after simulation	Measured with the System Usability Scale (SUS). The scale has 10 items. Scores ranges from 1-5 (1 = strongly disagree and 5 = strongly agree)
Exploration of perceptions, attitudes, and opinions of the AR simulation participants	immediately after simulation	Self formulated thematic analysis using guided discussion form elaborated to explore perceptions, attitudes, and opinions using CHARM simulator. The survey has 5 items.
Evaluation of the AR system's ergonomics	immediately after simulation	Measured with the ISO 9241-400 Assessment of human-ergonomic factors. The scale has 6 items. Scores ranges from 1-5 (1 = strongly disagree and 5 = strongly agree)
