Abstract
OBJECTIVE: Due to the particularity of nuclear radiation emergencies, professional technical training is necessary. However, nuclear radiation emergency medical rescue nurses are not well prepared to respond in time. This study aims to explore the effect of virtual reality (VR) in training nurses for nuclear radiation emergency medical rescue. METHODS: Thirty nurses who received traditional nuclear radiation rescue training from May 2020 to October 2020 were selected as the control group, and another 30 nurses who received VR nuclear radiation emergency medical rescue training from November 2020 to April 2021 were selected as the experimental group. The examination results, learning enthusiasm, training effect evaluation, and training satisfaction were compared between the 2 groups. RESULTS: The experimental group had significantly higher examination score, learning enthusiasm, training effect evaluation, and training satisfaction than the control group (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: The application of VR in the training of nuclear radiation emergency medical rescue can improve the training performance, learning enthusiasm, training effect, and training satisfaction of trainees. Considering the advantages of VR, it could be widely used in the training of nuclear radiation emergency medical rescue in the future.
