Objective: Simulation training in medical settings is a cornerstone in medical education to practice technical and non-technical skills. The objective of this study was to evaluate user experiences and initial reactions to a multiplayer virtual reality (VR) simulation designed for anaesthesiologists. Methods: …

The skillsets of production workers are crucial for the effective adoption of smart technologies which are largely shaped by work design. However, current literature lacks comprehensive insights into the skills and work designs of production workers, hindering the adoption of Industry 5.0. Grounded in …

Anaesthesiology residents at Leiden University Medical Center regularly undergo simulation training with a full-body manikin. This is a vital aspect of the clinical programme providing a stressful yet safe environment for effective critical resource management (CRM) training. Unfortunately, the COVID-19 …

This thesis presents the design, development, and evaluation of a Mixed Reality (MR) training application aimed at identifying methods of artificially inducing stress to enhance realism in Emergency Response simulations. Emergency Responders are often in stressful scenarios and require a high stress …

-Abstract- Forensic research students often lack practical training opportunities at real crime scenes, hindering their ability to practise their theoretical knowledge and develop essential skills. This study explores the potential of an educational game to bridge this gap. Through interviews, questionnaires …

The After-Action Review (AAR) in Virtual Reality (VR) training for police provides new opportunities to enhance learning. We investigated whether perspectives (bird’s eye & police officer, bird’s eye & suspect, bird’s eye) and line of fire displayed in the AAR impacted the officers’ learning efficacy. …

In policing, Virtual Reality scenario-based training (VR SBT) is being explored to complement real-life scenario-based training (RL SBT). We investigated whether relevant training responses in VR SBT, namely heart rate (HR), level of physical activity, mental effort, and perceived stress, resemble those …

Balance deficits play a major role in patients who have suffered strokes. It is estimated that 30% of patients cannot walk independently 6 months post-stroke, usually caused by impaired standing balance due to hemiplegia or hemiparesis that is experienced. Balance as a whole is a key factor when it comes …

Objective Repeated practice, or spacing, can improve various types of skill acquisition. Similarly, virtual reality (VR) simulators have demonstrated their effectiveness in fostering surgical skill acquisition and provide a promising, realistic environment for spaced training. To explore how spacing …

Vallen is een veelvoorkomend probleem onder ouderen door balansstoornissen. Om de balans te bevorderen gebruikt men binnen de fysiotherapie al jarenlang traditionele balansoefeningen. Afgelopen jaren wordt steeds meer gebruik gemaakt van virtual reality (VR) voor balanstraining. Het is nog niet duidelijk …
