Redesign of a virtual reality basic life support module for medical training – a feasibility study

The study offers valuable insights into redesigning Virtual Life Support for Basic Life Support training, specifically tailored for medical students and healthcare providers, using a primarily qualitative approach. The findings suggest that the benefits of virtual reality, such as enhanced realism and immersive learning, can be effectively integrated into a single training module. Further development and validation of VR BLS modules, such as the one evaluated in this study, have the potential to revolutionise BLS training. This could significantly improve both the quality of skills and the accessibility of training, ultimately enhancing preparedness for real-life emergency scenarios.

Abstract

The study offers valuable insights into redesigning Virtual Life Support for Basic Life Support training, specifically tailored for medical students and healthcare providers, using a primarily qualitative approach. The findings suggest that the benefits of virtual reality, such as enhanced realism and immersive learning, can be effectively integrated into a single training module. Further development and validation of VR BLS modules, such as the one evaluated in this study, have the potential to revolutionise BLS training. This could significantly improve both the quality of skills and the accessibility of training, ultimately enhancing preparedness for real-life emergency scenarios.
