Prehospital Provider Training With Augmented Reality (AR)

The goal is to evaluate the acceptance of Augmented Reality (AR) simulation as a learning modality for prehospital providers. The simulation itself is grounded in traditional best practices for simulation delivery and design as well as prior literature on simulation training for prehospital providers; the focus of this study is the participants' experiential interaction with AR and the simulation resources.

Treatment and study plan

Augmented Reality Headset

Behavioral

The simulation scenario will be a pediatric hypoglycemia-induced seizure case, which will be done through an AR simulation. AR (Augmented Reality) headset, which is a device that the participants will wear over their head and eyes and will add holographic elements to a live view of workplace training scenario.

Primary outcomes

  1. Thematic Analysis of Post-Simulation Discussions

    Time frame: Duration of post-simulation debrief (15-20 minutes)

    The primary aim is to study the acceptance of AR simulation amongst prehospital providers via thematic analysis of semi-structured discussions using qualitative research methods.

Secondary outcomes

  1. System Usability Scale (SUS)

    Time frame: Duration of Intervention (less than one hour)

    The first secondary aim is to evaluate AR simulation usability amongst prehospital providers via the System Usability Scale (SUS).

  2. Headset Ergonomics

    Time frame: Duration of Intervention (less than one hour)

    The final secondary aim will evaluate the ergonomics of the headset via the ISO 9241-400 assessment of human-ergonomic factors.
