An interventional study of Immersive Virtual Reality CPR Training and Manikin-Based Simulation in Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Training, sponsored by Shiraz University of Medical Sciences. Completed at 1 site in Iran. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-09-03.
Sponsored by Shiraz University of Medical Sciences · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
This study compared two methods for teaching cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) to undergraduate medical students: immersive virtual reality and manikin-based simulation. A total of 129 medical students participated in the study and were assigned to either the immersive virtual reality group or the manikin-based simulation group. The study evaluated students' knowledge and practical CPR skills after the training and assessed their satisfaction with the learning method. The study examined whether immersive virtual reality provided an effective alternative to manikin-based simulation for CPR education.
Inclusion Criteria:Undergraduate medical students at Shiraz University of Medical Sciences enrolled in terms 1 through 5 who were eligible to participate in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training.
Exclusion Criteria:Participants who did not complete the assigned CPR training intervention or the required outcome assessments.
Participants received cardiopulmonary resuscitation training using immersive virtual reality.
Behavioral: Immersive Virtual Reality CPR Training
Participants received cardiopulmonary resuscitation training using manikin-based simulation.
Behavioral: Manikin-Based Simulation
Participants received cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training using immersive virtual reality. The intervention was designed to provide CPR education and practice in an immersive virtual environment.
Participants received cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training using a manikin-based simulation. The intervention was designed to provide CPR education and hands-on practice using a conventional simulation manikin.
Learner Satisfaction with CPR Training
Learner satisfaction with the cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training intervention, assessed using a 20-item satisfaction questionnaire with a total score ranging from 20 to 100.
Time frame: Immediately after the training intervention
