“…The division leads regionally driven quality improvement activities of national cancer screening to enhance its accuracy and reliability and to perform regular training in each region to reduce regional disparities in the quality of national cancer screening [22]. The division provides various online educational programs and content for training purposes, including non-face-to-face VR educational videos for mammography positioning training and endoscope cleaning and disinfection method training [23]. The VR educational videos provided to RCCs required significant manual effort during the delivery process, and the division recognized the need for a digital platform to facilitate content delivery and management and continuous non-face-to-face education.…”

BACKGROUND Early detection of cancer and provision of appropriate treatment can increase the cancer cure rate and reduce cancer-related deaths. Early detection requires improving the cancer screening quality of each medical institution and enhancing the capabilities of health professionals through tailored education in each field. However, during the COVID-19 pandemic, regional disparities in educational infrastructure emerged, and educational accessibility was restricted. The demand for remote cancer education services to address these issues has increased and, in this study, we considered medical metaverses a potential means of meeting these needs. In 2021, we developed Dr. Meta, a multidomain metaverse cancer care digital platform. Among the multiple subplatforms in the Dr. Meta metaverse platform, Metaverse Educational Center was developed for the virtual training of health professionals. In 2022, we used Metaverse Educational Center to train radiologic technologists remotely in mammography positioning. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to investigate the user experience of Metaverse Educational Center and identify variables associated with the intention to continuously use the subplatform. METHODS We conducted a multicenter, cross-sectional survey between July and December 2022. We performed a descriptive analysis to examine the Metaverse Educational Center user experience and a logistic regression analysis to clarify factors closely related to the intention to use the subplatform continuously. Additionally, a supplementary open-ended question was used to obtain feedback from users to improve Metaverse Educational Center. RESULTS Responses from 192 Korean participants (male: n=16, 8.3% and female: n=176, 91.7%) were analyzed. More than half of the participants were satisfied with Metaverse Educational Center (178/192, 92.7%) and wanted to continue using the subplatform in the future (157/192, 81.8%). Less than half of the participants had no difficulty in wearing the device (85/192, 44.3%). Logistic regression analysis results showed that intention for continuous use was associated with satisfaction (adjusted odds ratio [95% CI]=3.542 [1.037-12.097]; P=.044), immersion (2.803 [1.201-6.539]; P=.017), and no difficulty in wearing the device (2.020 [1.004-4.062]; P=.049). However, intention for continuous use was not associated with interest (0.736 [0.303-1.789]; P=.499) or perceived ease of use (1.284 [0.614-2.685]; P=.507). According to the qualitative feedback, Metaverse Educational Center was useful in cancer education, but the experience of wearing the device and the types and qualities of the content still need to be improved. CONCLUSIONS Our results demonstrate the potential of Metaverse Educational Center for remote cancer education for health professionals. Our results also suggest that improving users’ satisfaction and immersion and ensuring lack of difficulty in wearing the device may enhance their intention for continuous use of the subplatform.

“…National Cancer Center (NCC) Korea’s Division of Cancer Early Detection runs a national cancer screening support project aimed at increasing the cure rate and reducing cancer-related mortality by inducing early cancer detection and treatment. The division leads regionally driven quality improvement activities of national cancer screening to enhance its accuracy and reliability and to perform regular training in each region to reduce regional disparities in the quality of national cancer screening [ 9 , 10 ]. The division provides various remote educational programs and content for training purposes, including non–face-to-face virtual reality (VR) educational videos for mammography positioning training.…”

“…wurden daher bei der Abfrage der tatsächlichen Kenntnisse im Mittel auch nur 62 % der Fragen zutreffend beantwortet [10]. Dies deckt sich mit Beobachtungen anderer, bei denen ebenfalls weniger als die Hälfte der Mitarbeiter der Endoskopieabteilung zuvor in diese Tätigkeiten ausreichend detailliert eingewiesen worden waren [11]. Um eine akzeptable Prozess-und damit auch Ergebnisqualität vorhalten zu können, erscheint es daher unverzichtbar, dass regelmäßig Schulungen zum korrekten Vorgehen bei der Endoskopanwendung und anschließenden -aufbereitung erfolgen [12,13].…”

ZusammenfassungDie Ösophagogastroduodenoskopie (ÖGD), die endoskopische retrograde Cholangiopankreatikografie (ERCP) sowie die Koloskopie (KOLO) bergen stets das Risiko einer Transmission von Erregern. Leider gibt es bislang nur wenige Daten zu den Ursachen und Erregerspektren für diese Ereignisse.In einer systematischen Literaturrecherche der Worldwide Outbreak Database, der PubMed und der Embase wurden entsprechende Ausbrüche hinsichtlich der Ausbruchsursache, des Erregerspektrums, der Attack Rate und Letalität sowie der daraufhin eingeleiteten Hygienemaßnahmen evaluiert.Es wurden insgesamt 73 Ausbrüche (ÖDG: 24; ERCP: 42; KOLO: 7) eingeschlossen mit Attack Rates in Höhe von 3,5%, 7,1% und 12,8%. Die zugehörigen Letalitäten betrugen 6,3%, 12,7% und 10,0%. Im Rahmen der ÖGD ereigneten sich vor allem Transmissionen von Enterobakterien mit einem großen Anteil multiresistenter Isolate. Via ERCP wurden überwiegend Nonfermenter übertragen. Die häufigste Ursache für die akzidentelle Verwendung kontaminierter Endoskope war menschliches Versagen während der Endoskopaufbereitung.Dem Anwender sollte das Risiko einer Übertragung stets bewusst sein, um diese frühestmöglich erkennen und fortan unterbinden zu können. Darüber hinaus müssen Mitarbeiter regelmäßig in der Aufbereitung von Medizinprodukten geschult werden. Die Verwendung von Einmalendoskopen senkt zwar das Übertragungsrisiko von Erregern, erhöht jedoch andererseits die Abfallmenge und ggf. auch die Kosten.
