Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Training in High School Using Avatars in Virtual Worlds: An International Feasibility Study

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Training in High School Using Avatars in Virtual Worlds: An International Feasibility Study

We calculated an index of the negative engagement modes (sum of scores for the frustration/anxiety and hesitation/avoidance modes), as described by Hedman and Sharafi [36], because they may be associated with lower self-efficacy. Negative engagement modes were assessed before each session from a 15-item questionnaire using a 5-point Likert-type scale. We assumed that very high mental strain could be another factor that may jeopardize perceived self-efficacy.

Exploring Virtual Worlds for Scenario-Based Repeated Team Training of Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation in Medical Students

This has previously been described in detail by Hedman et al [28]. In order to also control for different individual coping strategies during the two sessions, we administered a validated questionnaire described by Carver [29] before the scenarios, in which each of 21 items gave indications of a particular way of coping. In the virtual world simulation, the subjects interacted in real time with each other, a victim, and paramedics, by use of their avatars.
