Background Health care professionals globally face increasing levels of burnout characterized by emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and a reduced sense accomplishment, it has been notably exacerbated during the COVID-19 pandemic. This condition not only impacts well-being health workers but also affects patient contributes to significant economic burden. Traditional approaches mitigating have included various psychosocial interventions, with mindfulness being recognized for its effectiveness in enhancing mental stress management. The emergence virtual reality (VR) technology offers novel immersive platform delivering management training. Objective study aimed evaluate immediate impact an 8-week VR educational program on work engagement among professionals. Methods nonrandomized pre-post intervention enrolled 90 professionals, including nurses, physicians, allied staff, from 3 different centers. Of these 83 (92%) completed program. consisted 8 weekly sessions 10-13 minutes each, using Meta Quest 2 headsets. focused Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (UWES) were used assessments. Data analysis involved inferential statistical techniques evaluating scales, paired t tests normally distributed variables Wilcoxon signed rank nonnormally variables. significance changes was indicated P values <.05, effect sizes measured Cohen d r quantifying magnitude intervention’s effect. Results revealed improvements MBI UWES indices after (P<.05). Specifically, showed reductions exhaustion (t82=5.58; P<.001; d=0.61) depersonalization (t82=4.67; d=0.51), increase personal accomplishment (t82=−3.62; d=0.4). enhancements vigor (t82=−3.77; d=0.41), dedication (Z=−3.63; r=0.41), absorption (Z=−3.52; r=0.4). Conclusions provides initial data supporting VR-based programs reducing While limitations, such as absence control group, are acknowledged, coupled high participant adherence minimal discomfort underline potential interventions settings. These encouraging findings pave way more comprehensive studies, randomized controlled trials, further validate expand upon results.

Immersive virtual reality training to identify and investigate child abuse: a review of emerging progress and future directions

Frontiers in Virtual Reality, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 6

Child abuse is a pervasive global issue with enduring consequences, and conversations children are central to its detection intervention. However, these fraught psychological developmental complexities, professionals across legal, medical, educational fields often report feeling ill-equipped navigate them. Most critically, forensic interviewers frequently rely on coercive questioning techniques, undermining the validity of children’s testimonies in court. Traditional training methods elicit reliable verbal disclosures have remained ineffective, driving interest using immersive virtual reality (VR) provide simulated child victims. To assess existing evidence base, reproducible systematic search was conducted APA PsycInfo, PsycArticles, PubMed, Mendeley, Google Scholar. While early studies suggest VR enhances professionals’ self-efficacy learning outcomes, empirical validation remains limited, indicating critical gaps for future address. This scoping review synthesizes emerging research protection training, evaluating efficacy, limitations, methodological rigor professional contexts.

What variables are connected with system usability and satisfaction? Results from an educational virtual reality field trip

Computers & Education X Reality, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 3, С. 100043 - 100043

Опубликована: Окт. 30, 2023

Exploring the usability of educational virtual reality (VR) is essential. Research in this area can explain adoption VR as a new technology, contribute to examining paths toward effective learning, and provide recommendations for design. This study investigated sample N = 64 university students learning about simplified construction engineering topics from an interactive field trip. Two research objectives were pursued. First, level achieved was examined using mixed-methods approach, including data semi-structured interviews survey on system satisfaction. Second, relationships between several connected variables (ease use, usefulness, presence, cognitive load) satisfaction quantitatively. With respect first objective, evaluated positively rated highly surveys. These results indicate that trips, which are increasingly replacing excursions, regarded appropriate instructional method. Concerning second ease extraneous load found predict usability. Further, factors intrinsic helped variance findings highlight vary. In addition these other theoretical implications, practical implications design discussed.

Abstract Veterinary parasitology is study of parasitic diseases, treatment and prevention. It a major component animal health courses due to impacts parasites have on production companion animals. Extant tertiary education in typically involves theory sessions coupled with practical experience. In this we propose teaching would be enhanced through adoption immersive Virtual Reality (I-VR) as an intrinsically motivating learning tool complement their studies. To evaluate adoption, custom I-VR game was developed that veterinary science students experienced ( n = 109), feedback assessed using the Hedonic-Motivation System Adoption Model (HMSAM). HMSAM proved appropriate for measuring student’s hedonistic utilitarian perspectives experience perceived ease use, usefulness, joy, ability control, immersion levels intention use displaying significant positive relationships derived model. However, departure from similar studies, curiosity construct not useful predictor context scaffolded, instructional application. This highlights suitability provides statistically robust evaluation method modified acceptance, education.
