Efficacy of an Augmented Reality Application Developed for ACLs Training on the Knowledge and Skill Levels of Nurses

September 20, 2023 updated by: National Cheng-Kung University Hospital

Background: Having Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLs) skills is essential for nurses. During the COVID-19 pandemic, augmented reality (AR) technologies were incorporated into medical education to increase learning motivation and accessibility.

Objectives: To determine whether using augmented reality for educational applications can significantly improve first aid cart learning, learning motivation, cognitive load, and system usability among nurses in ACLs training of nurses.

Design: The present study was a quasi-experiment study. Settings: The research setting was a medical center in southern Taiwan Participants: In total, 102 nurses completed the course, with 43 nurses in the AR group and 59 nurses in the control group.

Methods: An ACLs cart training course was developed using augmented reality (AR) technologies in the first stage. However, the efficacy of the developed ACLs training course was evaluated.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
No Intervention: AR technologies to develop a first aid cart learning system
The control group received traditional teaching.
Experimental: An ACLs cart training course was developed using augmented reality (AR) technologies
The developed first aid cart learning system was applied to ACLs drills in a regular ACLs training program, and an AR group used this learning system to assist in their learning. The AR group scanned the dedicated AR marker using a mobile device
