About this study

Official title: Comparison Between Virtual Reality Simulation-Based and Conventional Fire Safety and Evacuation Training for Hospital Personnel

The goal of this interventional study is to assess the effectiveness of safety and evacuation training VR simulation-based fire on personnel in hospitals. The main question it aims to answer is:

Are there significant differences in cognitive ability scores, participants' psychomotor, and affective attitudes towards fire safety and evacuation in hospitals between groups trained using virtual reality-based simulations and conventional simulations?

Read the detailed description

Users can use VR headsets to enter a realistic virtual world atmosphere that resembles a real-world fire disaster, in this case, using the environment in a Hospital. Unlike conventional training that often only focuses on the use of light fire extinguishers (APAR), the innovation we propose will create a scenario in 3 levels:

Becoming a first responder at level 1. Becoming a gathering point coordinator at level 2. Becoming a coordinator who reports to the emergency coordinator and emergency director at level 3.

The innovation product will be used as a treatment in the study. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of VR simulation-based fire safety and evacuation training on hospital personnel. The method used was an experimental research design with controlled randomization, comparing the values of cognitive, psychomotor, and affective abilities in groups given virtual reality-based simulations and conventional simulations. The research sample was hospital personnel, with a minimum of 72 samples selected through random sampling. This study's expected results prove that the simulation innovation product with VR effectively improves participants' skills and confidence in dealing with fires.

The expected target is that this innovation will allow hospital personnel to control fire disasters that occur at any time in the hospital.

Virtual Reality Fire Safety and Evacuation TrainingExperimentalIn the VR group, treatment was given individually. Each subject performed a VR-based fire evacuation simulation at the Hospital using tools and programs that had been prepared by the team.
Receives: Device: Meta Quest 3 Headset
Conventional Fire Safety and Evacuation TrainingExperimentalIn conventional simulation group is considered as control group. Simulation is done in groups and consists of six subjects, each individual will get their respective roles.
Receives: Other: Conventional fire safety evacuation simulation

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Improvement of cognitive score

    increase in the average difference in the pretest and posttest questionnaire scores for cognitive aspects. Scoring range is from 0-100, with higher score as better outcome.

    Measured: immediately after the intervention

  2. Improvement of affective score

    increase in the average difference in the pretest and posttest questionnaire scores for affective aspects. Scoring range is from 0-100, with higher score as better outcome.

    Measured: immediately after the intervention

  3. Improvement of psychomotor score

    increase in the average difference in the pretest and posttest questionnaire scores for psychomotor aspects. Scoring range is from 0-100, with higher score as better outcome.

    Measured: immediately after the intervention
