About this trial
This research is a randomized controlled study designed to develop and evaluate the effectiveness of a video-based virtual reality (VR) simulation for prehospital intervention training of crush syndrome for paramedic students. The study aims to examine the impact of VR simulation on knowledge levels, satisfaction, and sense of presence among second-year first and emergency aid students at Muğla Sıtkı Koçman University.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
1
Prehospital crush syndrome knowledge level
The knowledge level of participants is measured using the full 'prehospital crush syndrome knowledge level scale'. The scale consists of 32 items covering four sub-dimensions: general knowledge (12 items), treatment (9 items), transport (6 items), and advanced knowledge (5 items). Each correct answer is scored as 1 point, while incorrect or 'no idea' answers are scored as 0. The total score ranges from a minimum of 0 to a maximum of 32. A higher total score indicates a better understanding and a higher knowledge level of prehospital crush syndrome management.
Time frame
Baseline (pre-test) and immediately after the training session (post-test).Secondary outcomes

Educational satisfaction level
Participant satisfaction with the educational method (virtual reality or theoretical lecture) is measured using the 'education method satisfaction form'. This is a single-item numeric rating scale ranging from a minimum of 0 to a maximum of 10. A score of '0' indicates that the participant is not at all satisfied with the teaching method, while higher scores indicate increasing levels of satisfaction, with a score of '10' representing full satisfaction. Higher scores mean a better outcome.
Time frame
Immediately after completion of the training intervention.2
Sense of presence in virtual environment
The sense of presence in the virtual reality environment is measured using the 'presence questionnaire'. This scale assesses various dimensions such as involvement, sensory fidelity, and adaptation. Each item is scored on a 5-point likert scale, ranging from a minimum of 1 to a maximum of 5. For instance, a score of '1' indicates no presence or very poor quality, while a score of '5' indicates a high level of presence or complete naturalness. A higher total score indicates a greater sense of presence and a more immersive virtual reality experience.
Time frame
Immediately after completion of the virtual reality training session3
Technology usage level
Participants' orientation and interest towards technology are measured using the 'technology usage scale'. This scale consists of 13 items scored on a 5-point likert scale (1 = strongly disagree to 5 = strongly agree). The total score ranges from a minimum of 13 to a maximum of 65. A higher total score indicates a higher level of technology integration, interest, and adaptation to technological innovations in daily life.
Time frame
Baseline (pre-test)4
Attitude toward virtual reality in education
Participants' attitudes toward using virtual reality for learning and professional development are measured using the 'virtual reality attitude scale'. The scale consists of 9 items scored on a 5-point likert scale (1 = strongly disagree to 5 = strongly agree). The total score ranges from a minimum of 9 to a maximum of 45. A higher total score indicates a more positive attitude and higher perceived usefulness regarding the integration of virtual reality into educational processes
