Abstract:
Objective To explore the effects of virtual reality (VR) on skill retention and retraining time of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) among medical students.Methods From May to November 2018, we selected students majored in clinical medicine of two classes in a medical university of Guangdong Province by convenience sampling. All of them were randomly divided into two groups taking class as the unit, 30 cases in each group with CPR training by VR and scenario simulation respectively. Examination scores of CPR skills were carried out at the end of training, one and six months after training to compare achievements between two groups. Results At the end of training and one month after training, the examination scores of CPR skills of students in the VR group were (95.426±4.296) and (92.326±7.753) respectively higher than those in the scenario simulation group (t=8.204, 4.797;P<0.05). Six months after training, there was no statistical difference in the examination score between the VR group (87.054±10.323) and the scenario simulation group (81.550±9.241), (t=2.176,P>0.05).Conclusions VR training is propitious to maintain students' CPR skills and to extend the retraining time of skills which provides a new method for medical education.
