“…Robert Ohle et al demonstrated the non-inferiority of two toilet paper rolls model to standard training mannequin. 11 The mean CPR score they recorded with their model was comparable to the mean score recorded with our CPR pillow model and was also similar to those trained with the standard mannequin. CPR score is a proprietary algorithm developed by Laerdal to calculate the efficiency of high-quality CPR performed on specific qCPR mannequins.…”

“…Sample size for the study was calculated using the software OpenEpi, for randomized clinical trial, with 80% power of the study and 5% alpha error, with the expected difference in proportion of adequate depth of CPR between standard CPR mannequin and low-cost model being 0.12 (0.95 low-cost model vs 0.83 standard mannequin). 10 These numbers were based on previous study 11 modified with our pilot data, which was performed on twenty dental students.…”

“…In the case of the MOBICPR game, learners can play it at any time to refresh their adult BLS knowledge without waiting for the next training session [54]. Moreover, the use of do-it-yourself manikins made from everyday items, such as plastic bottles, toilet paper, or even a pillow, for practicing CC techniques at home, especially in low-resource settings, coupled with the MOBICPR game, can potentially improve and solidify practical skills in adult BLS [55][56][57][58]. The MOBICPR game also includes gamification features, such as avatars, points, and various audio, textual, and graphical feedback.…”

Background Retention of adult basic life support (BLS) knowledge and skills after professional training declines over time. To combat this, the European Resuscitation Council and the American Heart Association recommend shorter, more frequent BLS sessions. Emphasizing technology-enhanced learning, such as mobile learning, aims to increase out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) survival and is becoming more integral in nursing education. Objective The aim of this study was to investigate whether playing a serious smartphone game called MOBICPR at home can improve and retain nursing students’ theoretical knowledge of and practical skills in adult BLS. Methods This study used a randomized wait list–controlled design. Nursing students were randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to either a MOBICPR intervention group (MOBICPR-IG) or a wait-list control group (WL-CG), where the latter received the MOBICPR game 2 weeks after the MOBICPR-IG. The aim of the MOBICPR game is to engage participants in using smartphone gestures (eg, tapping) and actions (eg, talking) to perform evidence-based adult BLS on a virtual patient with OHCA. The participants’ theoretical knowledge of adult BLS was assessed using a questionnaire, while their practical skills were evaluated on cardiopulmonary resuscitation quality parameters using a manikin and a checklist. Results In total, 43 nursing students participated in the study, 22 (51%) in MOBICPR-IG and 21 (49%) in WL-CG. There were differences between the MOBICPR-IG and the WL-CG in theoretical knowledge (P=.04) but not in practical skills (P=.45) after MOBICPR game playing at home. No difference was noted in the retention of participants’ theoretical knowledge and practical skills of adult BLS after a 2-week break from playing the MOBICPR game (P=.13). Key observations included challenges in response checks with a face-down manikin and a general neglect of safety protocols when using an automated external defibrillator. Conclusions Playing the MOBICPR game at home has the greatest impact on improving the theoretical knowledge of adult BLS in nursing students but not their practical skills. Our findings underscore the importance of integrating diverse scenarios into adult BLS training. Trial Registration ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT05784675); https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT05784675

“…Depending on where they are placed, these devices are divided into two categories: (1) those worn by the student, which are usually placed on the student's wrist and which provide visual [5] and auditory feedback on the screen and speakers of the device [6]; and (2) those integrated into the mannequin [7], which are more precise in terms of certain parameters (e.g., the world-space position and rotation of the body, the number and accuracy of repetitions, etc. [8]) but with a higher cost and a massive battery consumption [9].…”

The Objective Structured Clinical Exam (OSCE) is an assessment tool used as a reliable method for clinical competence evaluation of students. This paper presents an investigation focused on the chain of survival, its related exploration, management, and technical skills, and how Virtual Reality (VR) can be used for the creation of immersive environments capable of evaluating students’ performance while applying the correct protocols. In particular, the Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) procedure is studied as an essential step in the development of the chain of survival. The paper also aims to highlight the limitations of traditional methods using mechanical mannequins and the benefits of the new approaches that involve the students in virtual, immersive, and dynamic environments. Furthermore, an immersive VR station is presented as a new technique for assessing CPR performance through objective data collection and posterior evaluation. A usability test was carried out with 33 clinicians and OSCE evaluators to test the viability of the presented scenario, reproducing conditions of a real examination. Results suggest that the environment is intuitive, quick, and easy to learn and could be used in clinical practice to improve CPR performance and OSCE evaluation.
