Abstract

Background: Despite the increasing use of immersive technology (IT) in ophthalmology, the effectiveness of this approach compared to other teaching practices is unclear. This systematic review aimed to determine the value of IT to teach students ophthalmic skills and whether it can supplement or replace conventional teaching practices.

Methods: A systematic search was performed of CENTRAL, MEDLINE, EMBASE, ERIC and PsychINFO databases. Randomised controlled trials comparing IT interventions versus (1) no training, (2) standard training, (3) different types of IT interventions, (4) different doses of IT interventions were eligible for inclusion.

Results: Seven trials involving 177 participants were included. IT offered some benefit compared to standard training as most trials demonstrated evidence of learning represented by composite performance score and performance time. Repetitive training with IT displayed similar results.

Conclusion: IT appears to improve the ophthalmic skill of healthcare trainees and should be considered as a supplement to training.

沉浸式技术在眼科教育中的应用：系统综述。

背景：尽管沉浸式技术（IT）在眼科中的使用越来越多，但与其他教学方法相比，这种方法的有效性尚不明确。本系统性综述旨在确定信息技术在教授学生眼科技能方面的价值，以及它是否能补充或取代传统的教学方法：方法：对 CENTRAL、MEDLINE、EMBASE、ERIC 和 PsychINFO 数据库进行了系统检索。将信息技术干预与(1)无培训、(2)标准培训、(3)不同类型的信息技术干预、(4)不同剂量的信息技术干预进行比较的随机对照试验符合纳入条件：结果：共纳入了 7 项试验，涉及 177 名参与者。与标准训练相比，信息技术能带来一些益处，因为大多数试验都证明了学习效果，具体表现为综合表现得分和表现时间。使用信息技术进行重复训练也显示出类似的结果：结论：信息技术似乎可以提高医护学员的眼科技能，应被视为培训的补充。
