SIMULATION TRAINING

This study tested a mixed-reality simulator that uses a virtual coach to teach a life-saving emergency procedure called REBOA. Fourteen adults participated to see if the virtual coach could train people as effectively as a human instructor. The goal was to understand if this tech…

This study tested whether a six-week simulation-based training program helps mothers of young children better prevent home accidents and respond with first aid. 46 mothers took part, with half receiving the training and the other half serving as a comparison group. The training i…

This study looked at whether combining web-based simulation with a high-reality mannequin (hybrid simulation) helps nursing students learn advanced life support better than using either method alone. 73 nursing students who had completed certain courses took part. The goal was to…

This study looked at whether hands-on simulation training helps nursing students learn to read heart rhythm strips (ECGs) better than playing digital games. About 31 nursing students took part. Both groups learned ECG basics, then one group practiced in a simulation lab while the…

This study looked at whether a mental imagery session—where students vividly picture the steps in their mind—can improve their ability to insert a peripheral IV catheter on a practice mannequin. 96 fifth-year medical students took part. The goal was to see if this simple mental t…

This study looked at whether combining virtual simulation with hands-on practice helps midwifery students learn to manage severe preeclampsia better than virtual training alone. Thirty-two students from a university in Chile took part. The goal was to see if the combined approach…
