About this study
Official title: From Knowledge to Practice in Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Training: Comparing Immersive Virtual Reality and Manikin-Based Simulation Among Preclinical Medical Students- A Controlled Interventional Study
This study compared two methods for teaching cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) to undergraduate medical students: immersive virtual reality and manikin-based simulation. A total of 129 medical students participated in the study and were assigned to either the immersive virtual reality group or the manikin-based simulation group. The study evaluated students' knowledge and practical CPR skills after the training and assessed their satisfaction with the learning method. The study examined whether immersive virtual reality provided an effective alternative to manikin-based simulation for CPR education.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Immersive Virtual Reality CPR TrainingBehavioural
Participants received cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training using immersive virtual reality. The intervention was designed to provide CPR education and practice in an immersive virtual environment.
Manikin-Based SimulationBehavioural
Participants received cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training using a manikin-based simulation. The intervention was designed to provide CPR education and hands-on practice using a conventional simulation manikin.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Immersive Virtual Reality | Experimental | Participants received cardiopulmonary resuscitation training using immersive virtual reality. Receives: Behavioral: Immersive Virtual Reality CPR Training |
| Manikin-Based Simulation | Active comparator | Participants received cardiopulmonary resuscitation training using manikin-based simulation. Receives: Behavioral: Manikin-Based Simulation |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Learner Satisfaction with CPR Training
Learner satisfaction with the cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training intervention, assessed using a 20-item satisfaction questionnaire with a total score ranging from 20 to 100.
Measured: Immediately after the training intervention

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Immersive Virtual Reality CPR Training and Manikin-Based Simulation in people with Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Training, run by Shiraz University of Medical Sciences at 1 site in Iran.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Sep 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in Iran. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Learner Satisfaction with CPR Training (time frame: Immediately after the training intervention). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 3 Sep 2026; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 1 Nov 2026.
