Effects of Augmented Reality-based Rapid Blood Transfusion (Level-1®)

Effects of Augmented Reality-based Rapid Blood Transfusion (Level-1®) Education on Nurse's Clinical Competency, Self-efficacy, and Educational Satisfaction: Randomised Controlled Trial

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effectiveness of AR-based training with traditional guideline-based self-learning in practical nurses without prior Level-1® experience. The main questions it aims to answer are:

Does AR-based training using Microsoft HoloLens 2® improve clinical performance compared to traditional guideline-based self-learning? Does AR-based training affect self-efficacy and educational satisfaction compared to traditional methods?

Participants will:

Receive AR-based training using Microsoft HoloLens 2® (experimental group) Follow traditional guideline-based self-learning (control group) Researchers will compare the AR-based training group to the traditional self-learning group to see if AR-based training leads to better clinical performance, higher self-efficacy, and greater educational satisfaction.

In critical situations like hypovolemic shock, nurses must master skills for using devices like the Level-1® rapid infusion system. However, limited exposure poses challenges. Augmented reality (AR) offers a solution by providing realistic practice scenarios. While AR has shown effectiveness in cardiopulmonary resuscitation and intubation education, its application in Level-1® training remains underexplored.

This study was conducted at the Samsung Medical Center in Seoul, Korea, and involved 42 practical nurses without prior Level-1® experience. Participants were randomly assigned to one of two groups: the experimental group, which received AR-based training using Microsoft HoloLens 2®, and the control group, which followed traditional guideline-based self-learning.

The study aimed to investigate the impact of AR-based Level-1® education on nurses' clinical performance, self-efficacy, and educational satisfaction. Clinical performance, self-efficacy, and educational satisfaction were assessed through structured measurements.
