Virtual vs. Traditional CPR Training for Medical Students
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a first- or second-year medical student.
- You are between 18 and 30 years old.
- You have no known heart disease or physical limitations that would prevent doing chest compressions.
- You have not had CPR or basic life support training in the last 6 months.
- You have no previous experience working in healthcare (like as a nurse, EMT, or doctor).

This study tests whether a realistic simulation exercise can help medical trainees manage stress better. It may teach coping skills that are useful in high-pressure medical situations.
This study looks at how medical students' bodies react to stress during simulated conversations with patients. By measuring things like heart rate and sweat, researchers hope to understand how training can help students handle stressful situations better.
This trial tests whether combining interval training with scenario simulation helps medical students learn and remember emergency life support skills better than traditional methods. If you are a medical student in anesthesiology without prior advanced CPR certification, this trial could offer you a new way to practice and improve your skills.
This study compares two ways of teaching CPR (Basic Life Support) using virtual reality: one guided by an instructor and one guided by software. It looks at how stress and learning differ between these two methods, helping improve training for beginners.
This trial tests if a technique called heart rate variability biofeedback (HRVB) can help reduce stress and anxiety in students moving from classroom to clinical training. It may be a good fit if you are a 4th-year dentistry student starting clinical work.
This trial tests a virtual reality training program to help nurses improve their skills in advanced life support, which is used during cardiac emergencies. It aims to see if this new way of training works better than standard methods.
