| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Virtual reality group | Experimental | To become proficient in lumbar transforaminal epidural blocks, participants receive additional training using virtual reality programs after audiovisual education. |
|
| Self study group | Active Comparator | In order to become proficient in lumbar transforaminal epidural block, participants have self-study time using books and videos after audiovisual education. |
|
| Name | Type | Description | Arm Group Labels | Other Names |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Arm I (Virtual reality group) | Device | In the preparatory session, the participant is given a survey. It is about demographic information such as gender, age, and age, as well as prior experience with the procedure. The primary test is performed with a fluoroscopy guided lumbar transforaminal epidural block with a human-shaped phantom. After that, the test group and the control group receive the same audiovisual education for about 5 minutes. The test group receives about 60 minutes of training using a virtual reality program. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Checklist score | When all training courses are completed and a post-test is performed on the phantom, it is determined how much the checklist score has changed compared to the screening time. Range from 0 to 7. Minimum score means worst and maximum score means good performance. | 60 min of education programs |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Global rating score | When all training courses are completed and a post-test is performed on the phantom, it is determined how much the global rating score has changed compared to the screening time. Range from 7 to 35. Minimum score means worst and maximum score means good performance. | 60 min of education programs |

The primary test is performed with a fluoroscopy guided lumbar transforaminal epidural block with a human-shaped phantom. After that, the test group and the control group receive the same audiovisual education for about 5 minutes. The control group have provided with video materials and books provided during audiovisual education and have given time for self-study for 60 minutes. Subsequently, a second test is performed with a fluroscopy-guided lumbar transforaminal epidural block with a human-shaped phantom. |
|
| Time taken to perform lumbar transforaminal epidural injection |
During the pre-test and post-test, how long it takes to perform the procedure is compared. |
| Procedure duration |
| Number of fluroscopy shots when performing lumbar transforaminal epidural injection under a fluoroscopy guide | It is determined by comparing the number of fluroscopy pictures | Procedure duration |
| Participants' satisfaction with the curriculum | After the completion of all training and testing sessions, have participants rate their satisfaction with the training on a 100-point scale. Range from 0 to 100. Minimum score means less satisfaction and maximum score means better satisfaction. | 60 min of education programs |
