Efficacy of an augmented reality application developed for ACLs training of Nurses: a quasi-experiment Study.
ABSTRACT
Background:
Having Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLs) skills is essential for nurses. During the COVID-19 pandemic, augmented reality (AR) technologies were incorporated into medical education to increase learning motivation and accessibility.
Objective:
To determine whether using augmented reality for educational applications can significantly improve first aid cart learning, learning motivation, cognitive load, and system usability among nurses in ACLs training of nurses.
Methods:
The present study was a quasi-experiment study in a medical center in southern Taiwan. An ACLs cart training course was developed using augmented reality (AR) technologies in the first stage. However, the efficacy of the developed ACLs training course was evaluated.
Results:
All of 102 nurses completed the course, with 43 nurses in the AR group and 59 nurses in the control group. The AR group outperformed the control group regarding overall ACLs outcomes and first aid cart learning outcomes (P = .002; P = .011). Especially for new staff, regardless of the overall learning effect and the first aid cart effect, the improvement rate is the largest.
Conclusions:
Learning outcomes were effectively improved by teaching aids that incorporated AR technologies. Constraints in classroom teaching were overcome. Clinical Trial: NCT06057285, 09/20/2023, Retrospectively registered
