“…It is being queried if past methods of tertiary teaching are still relevant, effective and engaging for adults that have grown up in a digital age. To encourage a higher level of student engagement there have been suggestions that healthcare curricula should move from the traditional lecturer-led approach to become more student-centred ( 47), including such techniques as the flipped classroom (48) and peer teaching (47). Although attendance to the smaller, more student-centred sessions in the paramedic course such as tutorials or practical skills were not measured, data from our interviews indicate that students may be more likely to attend these forms of education compared with lectures.…”

Background Lecture absenteeism is a widespread issue and has been reported for a large range of university disciplines. The aim of this study was to describe face-to-face lecture attendance within a Bachelor of Paramedicine cohort at a large Australian university and explore associated factors. Methods A sequential mixed method study was undertaken using lecture attendance counts, a cross-sectional questionnaire and semi-structured interviews. Attendance was recorded at four time points throughout one semester. The Lecture Attendance Scale, a standardised 34-item questionnaire with a 7-point Likert rating scale, was used to examine reasons behind students’ choice to attend lectures or not, followed by further exploration via semi-structured interviews. Results Lecture attendance ranged from 30% to 76%, with a mean of 49.2%. On analysis of the questionnaire, eight factors were identified, and these were largely supported by the interview data. Conclusion High levels of lecture attendance were not observed. This study suggests that the decision to attend a lecture can be complex and is influenced by a range of student and organisation-related factors. Understanding and utilising this information to modify and improve healthcare curricula delivery is vital, especially where there may be an association between attendance and the development of clinical skills, and professional attitudes and qualities. This is especially important in healthcare education in the post-COVID-19 pandemic era where the value of in-person education will continue to be examined.

“…There is some evidence that demonstrates the efficacy of providing participants with self-monitoring tools in increasing motivation to participate in PA, enhancing self-monitoring skills and thus, greater awareness around goal behaviour discrepancy to improve their lifestyles [69,70]. There were four studies that utilised this intervention type [71][72][73][74].…”

“…Finally, the third study that was effective in increasing PA levels using this intervention type provided participants with pedometers to track and provide feedback on their daily step count [74]. While the last study [71] mentioned an increase in the number of weekly recorded pedometer steps from 59,560 to 87,286 after seven weeks of their intervention, there was no significant testing and thus the study was marked as not being effective However, given the study's results, the success of the intervention by [74] and the similarities across the two interventions, there is reason to believe that the study would have been found to be effective if statistical testing were done.…”

“…Of the intervention types reviewed, the categories with a sufficient amount of evidence demonstrating efficacy in increasing PA levels include home-based information provision [31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39], community-wide campaigns [40][41][42][43], incentivised change [50][51][52], indi-vidually adapted health behaviour programs [59][60][61][62], family-based social support interventions [63][64][65] and the provision of self-monitoring tools [71][72][73][74]. However, that does not mean that the other intervention types are necessarily ineffective in increasing PA levels, but that more research may need to be done to ascertain their effect on PA levels.…”

A systematic review was conducted on the efficacy of interventions to improve physical activity. PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science were scanned for eligible studies published from 1978 to August 2021, resulting in a total of 52 relevant studies for review. The Downs and Black checklist was used as a quality assessment ool for a risk of bias assessment. The 52 studies were then broadly categorised into three major approach types: informational, behavioural and/or social, as well as direct. Within each major approach, studies were further sub-categorised into more specific intervention types before being assessed for their efficacy and applicability. Overall, the intervention types that seemed to be the most efficacious in increasing physical activity levels were those that involved home-based information provision, community-wide campaigns, incentivised change, individually adapted health behaviour programs, family-based social support interventions and the provision of self-monitoring tools. However, the results must be interpreted holistically, as many of the successful interventions included more than one approach type and success is likely contingent on effectively addressing several concurrent facets. The systematic review is registered on PROSPERO. Registration number: 282752.

Purpose The relationship between medicine and video games is growing tremendously. In the field of medicine, realistic simulation and games have risen in popularity, and in turn, gamification has transformed the game elements into a non-gaming world for human engagement like motivation and performance. It is not surprising that game-based learning has branched out in the realm of the medical world. The person’s psychological state determines the effectiveness of education during training. This study aims to examine how the usage of immersive technology impacts users’ tendency to access immersive resources for learning during an emergency like the COVID-19 pandemic. Augmented reality (AR) apps have grown to be a popular tool in education nowadays. The purpose of using AR applications is to impart knowledge during the COVID-19 pandemic. An investigation was conducted to test the effectiveness of immersive technology in learning by developing a game-based experimental model and testing it on 100 non-randomly selected users of various ages. This study shows that users are open to new teaching approaches, including AR applications, in response to the challenges presented by the pandemic. AR applications provide a potential solution to the difficulties associated with education by providing an immersive and interesting experience that enhances learning-based results. This demonstrates that while using AR apps, an individual’s viewpoints and sense of control over their learning are more essential in influencing their conduct. By integrating AR apps into learning systems, immersive education may enhance users’ engagement, motivation and overall learning experiences. Design/methodology/approach Convenience sampling was chosen as the method for data analysis. One hundred users from a leading private university in the northwest part of India participated in this study. This gave a minimum sample size of 79 participants. To analyse the user experience (UX), a UX questionnaire was adopted. In this research paper, the researcher explores the importance of immersive games that emphasise awareness and experience through a series of questionnaires to assess the effective awareness of COVID through immersive technology, because the immersive element plays a major role in the quality and success of awareness through COVID-19 fighter video games as an interactive learning platform. Findings Results showed that most people do not know how to deal with an infected person in a critical situation; either they feel scared or deal without taking precautions. COVID-19 fighters are empowered with a virtual patient, which players can interact with. Once the user finishes the FPS game, he must find out the source of viruses that will be an AR-based virtual patient. The first step of the instruction will ask the user to give the mask to the infected person; in the second step, it will ask the user to sanitise his body. In the third step, it will ask to hospitalise. Originality/value The research offers empirical evidence on the effectiveness of augmented reality-based game approaches to increase reality in basic education to boost the awareness of individuals. The report also gives an example of good cross-cutting education materials that provide the player with a very valuable tool for understanding knowledge of covid awareness by playing the COVID-19 fighter game.
