A Systematic Review of Augmented Reality in Health Sciences: A Guide to Decision-Making in Higher Education

“…In the creation of more realistic interactive learning spaces that promote and facilitate autonomous and collaborative learning, facilitating the acquisition of the skills provided in the study plans [ 11 , 12 , 25 , 26 ].…”

“…Despite the numerous alternatives made possible by the use of AR as a didactic tool in Higher Education in Health Sciences, it is not implemented in a massive way [ 28 ]. Nevertheless, its application in this field has increased in the last few years due to the widespread use of mobile devices by students [ 6 , 11 , 25 , 29 , 30 ] as well as readability and ease of use.…”

“…In the case of Khan et al (2019) this satisfaction was higher than when the students used the traditional methodology based on notes [ 29 ]. This situation also occurred in Nursing students in a laboratory practice that increased simulation realism [ 11 ]. Medicine students’ satisfaction also improves by increasing the perception of realism of a clinical simulation through the use of AR, which could enhance understanding of the topic, motivation and student performance [ 27 ].…”

“…(b) Acquisition of clinical competencies AR improved clinical decision-making skills in the treatment of chronic wounds in Nursing students [24]. In the same line, the research by Quqandi et al (2018) concluded that AR facilitates the learning of basic skills in clinical nursing practices [11], and Rochlen et al (2017), showed that AR improved technical skills in the placement of a central venous catheter [12].…”

“…The use of AR in higher education in the area of health sciences can contribute to improve the acquisition of skills, providing the student with a more authentic learning and a more personalized learning experience [ 9 ]. Likewise, it can contribute to make clinical practice workshops more realistic by facilitating the acquisition of competencies [ 10 , 11 ]. Therefore, there is evidence indicating a favorable impact of AR on medical training [ 12 ].…”
