Brief summary
The goal of this observational study is to describe the expectations and experiences with virtual reality in physicians and nurses working in the European ICUs. The main questions it aims to answer are: What emotions and worries does the expected training with virtual reality evoke? What are the potential factors causing negative emotions and fear from expected training? What is the institutional approach to the online training approach regarding participation in working hours and covering the costs? How does the experience of training using virtual reality spread among the population of ICU physicians and nurses? Participants will fill out an electronic survey.
Detailed description
The need for constant training envelopes every medical speciality. Anesthesiology and Intensive Care or Critical care are no exceptions. Virtual reality is a very modern and fast-growing field with huge potential for education and training. The investigators hypothesise that virtual reality and online education could improve healthcare professionals' education feasibility. The survey was developed based on a trial version carried out only in the Czech Republic on 120 participants without any comments about questions clarity. The questionnaire contains a descriptive part and an explorative part about expectations and experiences with virtual reality in training. The study will aim for European ICUs. After that, the responses will be interpreted using statistical methods that fit. The investigators aim to publish our findings in a journal in WoS.
