Abstract

Abstract It is essential that all doctors in training feel confident in their ability to manage diabetes emergencies occurring in hospital settings. This is particularly pertinent when specialist expertise is not always immediately available, as well as at a time when diabetes prevalence in hospitals is rising. The project team created interactive, immersive scenarios and ran ‘DEVICE’ (Diabetes Emergencies: Virtual Interactive Clinical Education), a pilot study to test the feasibility of using virtual reality (VR) as a safe‐space learning medium for training medical staff on diabetes emergency management. Each study participant worked through two emergency scenarios, under the supervision of a consultant trainer. Analysis of the participants’ performance metrics showed improved clinical approaches and increased confidence in handling diabetes emergencies by these non‐specialist participants. Here we describe this pilot study development in more detail, as well as provide an update following the national roll‐out of these training resources across seven national postgraduate medical deaneries. The DEVICE initiative was found to be scalable and sustainable, with VR‐based learning deemed to be a popular, safe, and effective teaching tool for diabetes. We are now developing VR‐based training cases for use by other health care professionals within primary and secondary care. Copyright © 2023 John Wiley & Sons.

利用基于虚拟现实的学习为培训中的医生提供糖尿病急诊管理教育

所有接受培训的医生对自己处理医院发生的糖尿病紧急情况的能力有信心是至关重要的。在不能立即获得专业知识的情况下，以及在医院糖尿病患病率上升的情况下，这一点尤为重要。项目团队创建了互动的沉浸式场景，并进行了“DEVICE”(糖尿病紧急情况:虚拟互动临床教育)，这是一项试点研究，旨在测试使用虚拟现实(VR)作为安全空间学习媒介培训医务人员糖尿病紧急情况管理的可行性。每个研究参与者都在顾问培训师的监督下经历了两种紧急情况。对参与者表现指标的分析显示，这些非专业参与者改善了临床方法，增加了处理糖尿病紧急情况的信心。在这里，我们更详细地描述了这一试点研究的发展，并提供了在七个国家研究生医学学院推出这些培训资源后的最新情况。研究发现，DEVICE计划具有可扩展性和可持续性，基于VR的学习被认为是一种流行、安全、有效的糖尿病教学工具。我们现在正在开发基于虚拟现实的培训案例，供其他初级和二级医疗保健专业人员使用。版权所有©2023 John Wiley &儿子。
