Abstract

BACKGROUND

Tele-mentorship is considered to offer a solution to training and providing professional assistance at a distance. Tele-mentoring is a method in which a mentor interactively guides a mentee at a different geographic location in real time using a technological communication device. During a healthcare procedure, tele-mentoring can support a medical expert, remote from the treatment site, to guide a less-experienced practitioner at a different geographic location. Augmented Reality (AR) technology has been incorporated in tele-mentoring systems in healthcare environments globally. However, evidence is absent about the usability of AR technology in tele-mentoring clinical healthcare professionals in managing clinical scenarios.

AIM

This study aims to evaluate the usability of Augmented Reality (AR) technology in tele-mentorship for managing clinical scenarios.

METHODS

This study uses a quasi-experimental design. Four experienced health professionals and a minimum of twelve novice health practitioners will be recruited for the roles of mentors and mentees, respectively. In the experiment, each mentee wearing the AR headset performs a maximum of four different clinical scenarios in a simulated learning environment. A mentor who stays in a separate room and uses a laptop will provide the mentee remote instruction and guidance following the standard protocols for the treatment proposed for each scenario. The scenarios of Acute Coronary Syndrome, Acute Myocardial Infarction, Pneumonia Severe Reaction to Antibiotics, and Hypoglycaemic Emergency are selected, and the corresponding clinical management protocols developed. Outcome measures include the mentors and mentees' perception of the AR's usability, mentorship effectiveness, and the mentees' self-confidence and skill performance.

ETHICS

The protocol was approved by the Tasmania Health and Medical Human Research Ethics Committee (Project ID: 23343). The complete pre-registration of our study can be found at https://osf.io/q8c3u/.

摘要

背景

远程医疗指导被认为是一种提供培训和远程专业援助的解决方案。远程医疗指导是一种方法，其中导师使用技术通信设备实时与位于不同地理位置的学员进行互动指导。在医疗过程中，远程医疗指导可以支持远离治疗现场的医学专家指导位于不同地理位置的经验较少的从业者。增强现实（AR）技术已在全球医疗环境中的远程医疗指导系统中得到应用。然而，在远程指导临床医疗保健专业人员管理临床场景中，AR 技术的可用性方面缺乏证据。

目的

本研究旨在评估增强现实（AR）技术在管理临床场景的远程医疗指导中的可用性。

方法

本研究采用准实验设计。将招募四名经验丰富的医疗保健专业人员和至少十二名新手医疗保健从业者分别担任导师和学员的角色。在实验中，每位佩戴 AR 耳机的学员在模拟学习环境中最多执行四个不同的临床场景。一名在单独房间中使用笔记本电脑的导师将根据为每个场景提出的治疗标准协议为学员提供远程指导和指导。选择急性冠状动脉综合征、急性心肌梗死、抗生素严重反应性肺炎和低血糖急症等场景，并制定相应的临床管理方案。评估指标包括导师和学员对 AR 可用性的看法、指导效果以及学员的自信和技能表现。
