Efficacy of an Augmented Reality Application Developed for ACLs Training on the Knowledge and Skill Levels of Nurses
Background: Having Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLs) skills is essential for nurses. During the COVID-19 pandemic, augmented reality (AR) technologies were incorporated into medical education to increase learning motivation and accessibility.
Objectives: To determine whether using augmented reality for educational applications can significantly improve first aid cart learning, learning motivation, cognitive load, and system usability among nurses in ACLs training of nurses.
Design: The present study was a quasi-experiment study. Settings: The research setting was a medical center in southern Taiwan Participants: In total, 102 nurses completed the course, with 43 nurses in the AR group and 59 nurses in the control group.
Methods: An ACLs cart training course was developed using augmented reality (AR) technologies in the first stage. However, the efficacy of the developed ACLs training course was evaluated.
