NCT07584863

Brief Summary

This study is a two-arm parallel randomized controlled non-inferiority trial designed to compare the educational effectiveness of virtual reality (VR)-based simulation with high-fidelity simulation (HFS) for emergency management training in medical interns. Participants will be randomized 1:1 to either VR-based training or HFS-based training for managing desaturation and anaphylaxis scenarios. After training and structured debriefing, all participants will undergo objective structured clinical examinations (OSCEs) and complete pre- and post-training surveys. The primary outcome is OSCE performance score. Secondary outcomes include confidence improvement, participant satisfaction, usability (UEQ-S).

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • OSCE Performance Score

    Mean total score of two Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) stations (desaturation and anaphylaxis). Scores range from 0 to 20, with higher scores indicating better clinical performance.
