About this study

Official title: Comparing Machine Guided VR Based Training With Educator Guided Training in Metaverse Environment: A Randomized Controlled Study

The main aim of this study is to compare the learning outcomes of machine guided VR based training for adult advanced life support with educator guided training in metaverse environment.

Read the detailed description

Online education stands as one of the metaverse's potential application areas. The metaverse's ability to offer shared social connections differs it from existing online educational platforms such as Simulation, AR, and VR, which primarily focus on presenting virtual content and environments without fostering communal interaction. This facilitates interaction between learners and educators during metaverse-based training sessions allowing educators to guide the learners and provide feedback. The educators' presence fosters communication and collaboration during training sessions, thereby enhancing learners' motivation and engagement.

In our university, a VR-based multiplayer training module within the metaverse environment specifically designed for ALS (Adult Advanced Life Support) training has been developed. This module serves as an additional training tool to simulation-based training, enabling learners to receive guidance either from machine algorithms or educators within the metaverse. The objective of this study is to reveal the benefits of educator presence in the metaverse during VR-based training sessions.

Being tested
VR Based Training with Machine Guidance (MG Group), VR Based Training with Educator Guidance in Metaverse (EG Group)

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • VR Based Training with Machine Guidance (MG Group)Other

    The members of both groups will undertake a VR based basic training for ALS. Afterwards MG group were trained with VR based Advanced Training Module, which provides training with full machine guidance. The knowledge level will then be evaluated by the exam mode of the VR based training module

  • VR Based Training with Educator Guidance in Metaverse (EG Group)Other

    The members of both groupswill undertake a VR based basic training for ALS. Afterwards EG group will attend at VR based Educator guided training in metaverse. The knowledge level will then be evaluated by the exam mode of the VR based training module

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Comparing Learning outcome of the Advanced Cardiac Life Support Training of the two interventions used in this study

    Knowledge assessment will be conducted using the exam mode of the VR-based training module, evaluating users' performances utilizing an international algorithm developed by the American Heart Association (AHA) and Crisis Resource Management Criteria (CRM) derived from Aviation Training Algorithms. Seventy percent of the total performance score will be derived from ACLS assessments, with the remaining percentage calculated from CRM performances of the participants. The primary outcome of the study will be determined by the total score obtained through the exam mode of the VR-based training module.

    Measured: The participants will complete the exam mode for final evaluation right after the completion of training on the same day

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing VR Based Training with Machine Guidance (MG Group) and VR Based Training with Educator Guidance in Metaverse (EG Group) in people with Advanced Cardiac Life Support and Virtual Reality, run by Acibadem University at 2 sites in Turkey (Türkiye).

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Mar 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Turkey (Türkiye). Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Mehmet Emin Aksoy, MD, Ph.D. (+905052685158, emin.aksoy@acibadem.edu.tr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Comparing Learning outcome of the Advanced Cardiac Life Support Training of the two interventions used in this study (time frame: The participants will complete the exam mode for final evaluation right after the completion of training on the same day). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT06288087, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 1 Mar 2024.
