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 looks at how medical trainees handle stress during a realistic simulation training. It aims to see if a stress management program can help you perform better and feel less anxious in emergency situations.
This trial measures how medical students' bodies respond to stress during realistic, simulated conversations with patients. It uses wearable monitors to track heart rate and other signals, and the results might help improve how future doctors are trained to handle stressful interactions.
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.
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 study tests whether breathing training using virtual reality can help shift-working paramedics and nurses improve their reaction time, thinking, movement, balance, and sleep. It might also help reduce stress.
This trial tests a new way of training medical students in advanced life support skills. It combines interval training with scenario simulation to see if it helps students learn and remember better. If you are an anesthesiology student who has completed the initial training, this study may help you improve your emergency response skills.
