Novice Doctor
Conditions
Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to prove the effectiveness of the virtual reality program in educating lumbar transforaminal epidural blocks to novice doctors.
Interventions
DEVICEArm I (Virtual reality group)
In the preparatory session, the participant is given a survey. It is about demographic information such as gender, age, and age, as well as prior experience with the procedure. The primary test is performed with a fluoroscopy guided lumbar transforaminal epidural block with a human-shaped phantom. After that, the test group and the control group receive the same audiovisual education for about 5 minutes. The test group receives about 60 minutes of training using a virtual reality program.
DEVICEArm II (Self study group)
In the preparatory session, the participant is given a survey. It is about demographic information such as gender, age, and age, as well as prior experience with the procedure. The primary test is performed with a fluoroscopy guided lumbar transforaminal epidural block with a human-shaped phantom. After that, the test group and the control group receive the same audiovisual education for about 5 minutes. The control group have provided with video materials and books provided during audiovisual education and have given time for self-study for 60 minutes. Subsequently, a second test is performed with a fluroscopy-guided lumbar transforaminal epidural block with a human-shaped phantom.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Checklist score | 60 min of education programs | When all training courses are completed and a post-test is performed on the phantom, it is determined how much the checklist score has changed compared to the screening time. Range from 0 to 7. Minimum score means worst and maximum score means good performance. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Global rating score | 60 min of education programs | When all training courses are completed and a post-test is performed on the phantom, it is determined how much the global rating score has changed compared to the screening time. Range from 7 to 35. Minimum score means worst and maximum score means good performance. |
| Time taken to perform lumbar transforaminal epidural injection | Procedure duration | During the pre-test and post-test, how long it takes to perform the procedure is compared. |
| Number of fluroscopy shots when performing lumbar transforaminal epidural injection under a fluoroscopy guide | Procedure duration | It is determined by comparing the number of fluroscopy pictures |
| Participants' satisfaction with the curriculum | 60 min of education programs | After the completion of all training and testing sessions, have participants rate their satisfaction with the training on a 100-point scale. Range from 0 to 100. Minimum score means less satisfaction and maximum score means better satisfaction. |
