Does an instructor or a computer program reduce stress during VR training?
This study compares how learning and stress differ when you train for Basic Life Support (emergency CPR skills) using a virtual reality headset guided by a live instructor versus a software program. If you haven't taken a BLS class before and can use VR without motion sickness, you may be able to participate.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You cannot have completed a Basic Life Support (BLS) course before.
- You must not have a history of motion sickness with virtual reality (VR).
- You cannot have vertigo (a spinning sensation) or take medications that cause vertigo-like symptoms.

This study compares virtual reality CPR training to traditional training to see how each affects stress. It is for young, healthy medical students who have not recently learned CPR.
This trial tests using virtual reality to make life-support training more realistic. It is for specific anesthesiology students who have not had this training before.
This study tests if using a virtual reality headset can help healthcare workers on a surgical ward feel less stressed and more satisfied at work. If you work directly with patients on a surgical ward, you may be able to take short VR breaks.
This study tests whether a virtual reality (VR) relaxation session before surgery can help reduce stress for operating room staff. You use a VR headset to relax in a calm, immersive scene right before you start your work in the OR.
This study tests if a virtual reality program can help Black women lower stress and blood pressure. You would use VR headsets over several weeks to learn relaxation and resilience skills.
This study tests whether wearing a virtual reality headset during varicose vein treatment (a minimally invasive laser procedure on your legs) can help reduce anxiety and pain. You'd use VR while the doctor treats the problematic veins under local anesthesia.
