Abstract

Abstract: Objective This study aims to explore the application of virtual reality (VR) scenario simulation in pre-hospital emergency care training. Methods The experimental-control method was adopted. This study enrolled 60 fifth-year clinicalmedical students (class of 2019)duringtheir internship at the Affiliated Quzhou Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University (Quzhou People′s Hospital) from July to December 2023. All participants were randomly assigned into two groups using a random number table: a control group of 30 students and an experimental group of 30 students. The control group received traditional teaching methods, while the experimental group underwent teaching using virtual reality (VR) scenario simulation. The study compared the differences in improvement of pre-hospital emergency care abilities between the two groups. After completing the training, all students underwent theoretical knowledge exams, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) practical assessments, and conducted a questionnaire survey on learning enthusiasm, training effectiveness, and satisfaction. Data analysis was conducted using t-tests and chi-square tests to compare exam scores, enthusiasm for learning, training effectiveness evaluation, and course satisfaction between the two groups, evaluating the teaching effectiveness of the two instructional modes. Results The experimental group achieved significantly higher scores in both knowledge and skills assessments compared to the control group [(43.07±2.44) vs.(40.97±2.25) , (43.23±2.67) vs.(39.80±2.77)](both P＜0.05). The results of the student learning enthusiasm questionnaire showed that the total score of the teaching material motivation questionnaire in the experimental group was significantly higher than that in the control group [(158.43±8.73) vs.(142.40±6.61)](P＜0.05).The results of the questionnaire survey on student training satisfaction showed that the training satisfaction scores of the experimental group students were significantly higher thanthe control group [(93.73±1.55) vs.(90.97±1.85)](P<0.05). Conclusions The application of VR in pre-hospital emergency care training enhances student performance, enthusiasm for learning, training effectiveness, and satisfaction.
