Augmented Reality
Conditions
Brief summary
This study will evaluate the physiologic and emotional effects of an augmented reality (AR) simulation versus an in-person simulation. This is a single institution, non-inferiority, randomized controlled trial. The target enrollment will be 100 participants in each group for a total of 200 participants. One group will wear an AR headset and participate in an AR medical crisis scenario and the other group will participate in the same scenario with a traditional, mannequin based in situ simulation.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Parasympathetic response indexed by RSA | Duration of simulation (15-20 minutes) | Measured via respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA) in hertz using chest biometric sensors in 30-second epochs. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Sytem Usability Scale (SUS) | Post-simulation (5 minutes) | 10-item questionnaire with a scale from 1- 5, 1 being strongly disagree to 5 being strongly agree on a five-point Likert scale to measure usability. Only administered to the AR group. |
| ISO 9241-400 | Post-simulation (5 minutes) | 6-item ergonomic questionnaire with a scale from 1- 5, 1 being strongly disagree to 5 being strongly agree on a five-point Likert scale only administered to the AR group. |
| Simulation Design Scale (SDS) | Post-simulation (5-10 minutes) | 20-item questionnaire with a scale from 1- 5, 1 being strongly disagree to 5 being strongly agree on a five-point Likert scale to assess user satisfaction |
| Learning effectiveness | 5 months-post simulation (5 minutes) | Five months post-simulation, an assessment was sent out to participants with a 10-item, multiple choice with questions related to key learning points about resuscitation management. |
