The purpose of the present research was to develop an augmented reality paediatric first aid training system to investigate the effects of such a system on the knowledge, skill levels, and self-confidence of nursing students in first-aid practices.
This controlled experiment was conducted at a junior college. Ninety-five fourth-year nursing students participated in this study; 46 in the experimental group and 49 in the control group.
Data were collected using the Paediatric First Aid Knowledge Scale, Visual Analogue Scale of Self-Confidence and First Aid Practice Evaluation Checklist and pre- and post-test analyses were performed. The experimental group used the augmented reality application for paediatric first aid training, while the control group used a traditional method.
There was no statistically significant difference between the students' pre-test scores in both groups, indicating that the students had similar levels of knowledge of paediatric first aid before the intervention. The post-test of the paediatric first aid knowledge results showed that students in the experimental group significantly outperformed those in the control group (p < .05). A significant difference was found in the first aid skills between the groups (p < .001). Additionally, the students in the experimental group stated that the augmented reality application significantly improved their self-confidence in performing paediatric emergency care (p < .001).
The augmented reality application had a positive effect on the knowledge and skill levels of nursing students regarding first aid practices. This study suggests that augmented reality is a valuable teaching tool in many areas of nursing education.
本研究的目的是开发一个增强现实儿科急救培训系统，以调查该系统对护理专业学生急救实践中的知识、技能水平和自信心的影响。
本对照实验在一所专科学校进行。95名四年级护理专业学生参与了本研究；实验组46人，对照组49人。
使用儿科急救知识量表、自信心视觉模拟量表和急救实践评估检查表收集数据，并进行前后测分析。实验组使用增强现实应用程序进行儿科急救培训，而对照组使用传统方法。
两组学生的前测成绩无统计学显著差异，表明干预前学生在儿科急救方面的知识水平相似。儿科急救知识结果的后测显示，实验组学生的表现显著优于对照组（p <.05）。两组之间的急救技能存在显著差异（p <.001）。此外，实验组学生表示，增强现实应用程序显著提高了他们在进行儿科急救护理时的自信心（p <.001）。
增强现实应用程序对护理专业学生急救实践的知识和技能水平有积极影响。本研究表明，增强现实是护理教育许多领域中一种有价值的教学工具。
