About this study
The present study wants to design a training program for chemotherapy with using VR. Then the investigators design a protocol to compare the training effects in the VR program and ISO document.
Read the detailed description
As technology advances, mobile devices have gradually turned into wearable devices. Furthermore, virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and mixed reality (MR) are being increasingly applied in medical fields such as medical education and training, surgical simulation, neurological rehabilitation, psychotherapy, and telemedicine. Research results demonstrate the ability of VR, AR, and MR to ameliorate the inconveniences that are often associated with traditional medical care, reduce incidents of medical malpractice caused by unskilled operations, and reduce the cost of medical education and training. What is more, the application of these technologies has enhanced the effectiveness of medical education and training, raised the level of diagnosis and treatment, improved the doctor-patient relationship, and boosted the efficiency of medical execution. The present study wants to design a training program for chemotherapy with using VR. Then the investigators design a protocol to compare the training effects in VR program and ISO document.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
VR training programBehavioural
Use VR software to make a training education program.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Intervention | Experimental | The experimental group uses the VR program to training chemotherapy skill. Use VR software to make a training education program. Receives: Behavioral: VR training program |
| usual care | No intervention | Chemotherapy training as usual care (for training chemotherapy skill). |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
The questionnaire about intervention effect
After intervention, the investigator want to know the effect of intervention. A total of 12 questions, using the Likert's scale, very disagree(1) to very agree(5). It will compute a total score, score high means more effective.
Measured: After intervention 1 week, to perform the test. Including the content design, the convenience, the effectiveness, and promotion.
Secondary outcomes (2)
The questionnaire of Knowledge level for chemotherapy technique
The questionnaire want to understand the Knowledge for chemotherapy operation skill before and after intervention. A total of ten questions, with scores ranging from 0 to 10 points. , score high means more correct.
Measured: Before the intervention, the investigator perform a pretest. After intervention 1 week, the investigator perform the post test.
The questionnaire of Attitude for chemotherapy operation
The questionnaire want to understand the Attitude for chemotherapy operation skill before and after intervention. A total of ten questions, using the likert's scale, very disagree with 1 point, very agree with 5 points, total scores between 10 points and 50 points. , score high means more active.
Measured: Before the intervention, the investigator perform a pretest. After intervention 1 week, the investigator perform the post test.
