Using design thinking to identify training needs in CPR education: a qualitative study with nursing students and professionals
This study highlights the potential of using Design Thinking to identify experiential learning needs in CPR education. Findings suggest that virtual reality may act as a complementary tool to traditional simulation-based training, enhancing emotional safety and learner confidence. These insights may inform the development of a user-centered educational intervention to be tested in a subsequent phase of the project. The findings will inform the design of a user-centered intervention to be evaluated in a subsequent randomized controlled trial.
