Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Introduction: This study investigates the effect of virtual reality (VR)-based training methods on the acquisition of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) skills and user attitudes within the framework of Kolb's Experiential Learning Model.

Methods: A randomized controlled trial was conducted between December 11, 2024, and August 11, 2025, with 60 nurses (30 in the experimental group and 30 in the control group) working in emergency and intensive care units. The experimental group practiced an interactive CPR scenario using VR headsets, while the control group received CPR training through traditional methods. Data were collected using a descriptive information form, a knowledge test, and the Virtual Reality Attitude Scale. The knowledge test, prepared in accordance with the American Heart Association (AHA) standards, was administered as a pre-test, post-test, and follow-up test two weeks later. Additionally, the VR Satisfaction Scale was applied to the experimental group.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Intervention Group (VR Training):

Participants were first introduced to the VR simulator and briefed on the current scenario. Through the VR headset, nurses experienced the CPR scenario in real time in an interactive environment. Each nurse had sufficient time to practice the skill steps in the given scenario. Participants used the scenario-based VR CPR training game until they felt ready (approximately 30 minutes)

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Each nurse had sufficient time to practice the skill steps in the given scenario. Participants used the scenario-based VR CPR training game until they felt ready (approximately 30 minutes)

Control Group (Traditional Training)

Nurses in the control group received traditional training in a hospital training room using an adult plastic CPR manikin (approximately 30 minutes).
