Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This study explores the application of virtual reality (VR) in training chest percussion techniques for children with pneumonia, aiming to enhance the accuracy and efficiency of caregivers performing this technique. Chest percussion is a critical component of pulmonary physiotherapy, especially for pediatric patients with respiratory diseases requiring adjunctive chest therapy.

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the use of VR technology in chest percussion training, including its underlying principles, clinical practice, and future development. By reviewing both domestic and international research, the study analyzes the potential clinical benefits of improving caregivers' chest percussion skills and alleviating caregiver stress.

Research Objective:

To explore the application of virtual reality in enhancing chest percussion techniques, reducing caregiver stress, and improving teaching effectiveness for caregivers of children with pneumonia.

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

CROSSOVER

The assessment time points are set on the day of hospital admission or transfer (T1), and the fourth day after the teaching intervention (T2). Both the control group and the experimental group will be evaluated using the following questionnaires: Chest Percussion Skill Assessment, Chest Percussion Knowledge Test, Caregiver Stress Self-Assessment Scale, and Pediatric Respiratory Sounds. The experimental group will additionally undergo an evaluation of teaching effectiveness.
