For medical education and psychoendocrinological research, it is important to understand whether simulated training with virtual reality is a strong stressor and what influence it has on learning success.
Conditions
Interventions
Group 1: Arm 1: Intervention group that completes the stroke simulation training using virtual reality (one session of 60 minutes)
Group 2: Arm 2: Control group without virtual reality (one session of

Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: 1.) Participants must be in the neurology module of the 2nd clinical year or have completed it because the simulation training requires specific stroke knowledge. 2.) The participants must give their approval to participate in the study. Therefore the participants sign the study information letter and a form according data protection.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: 1.) Participants who are not in the neurology module of the 2nd clinical year or have completed it because the simulation training requires specific stroke knowledge. 2.) Participants who will not give their approval to participate in the study, when the study information letter is not signed or the form according data protection is not signed. 3.) People who suffer on cybersickness or similar.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The learning success is significantly higher in the intervention group compared to the observation group, determined after the simulation session, through a learning success control. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| VR-based training produces significantly higher cortisol levels than non-VR-based training as determined by saliva samples during the simulation session. | — |
