Augmented reality- virtual reality wartime training of reserve prehospital teams: a pilot study

Table 1 Comparison of means, and their change per variable for the reserve paramedics following the trauma AR-VR training

Variables	Paramedic reserve training (n = 12)
Variables	Mean score before training (± SD)	Mean score after training (± SD)	Mean Change^a
Self-Efficacy	3.917(± 0.611)	3.967 (± 0.619)	+ 0.05
Individual resilience	3.717(± 0.630)	4.008 (± 0.665)	+ 0.29
Perceived paramedic knowledge	3.778(± 0.808)	3.958 (0.871)	+ 0.18
Perceived paramedic competency	3.867(± 0.469)	4.017 (± 0.522)	+ 0.15
General intubation confidence	3.541(± 0.891)	3.833 (± 1.008)	+ 0.29
Quality of training		4.438 (± 0.419)

^a Change in mean score was computed by subtracting the mean score prior to training from the one after the training
A high, significant correlation level was observed between self-efficacy and perceived paramedic knowledge (0.675, p < 0.05); perceived paramedic competency (0.645, p < 0.05); and perceived intubation confidence (0.616, p < 0.05). Furthermore, individual resilience also presented a significant correlation with all three examined variables: perceived paramedic knowledge (0.667, p < 0.05); perceived paramedic competency (0.607, p < 0.05); and perceived intubation confidence (0.680, p < 0.05)
