20.500.12556/DKUM-91200 Immersive technology and hand hygiene scoping review Background The use of immersive technology in healthcare education is on the rise, yet its impact on learner engagement, knowledge retention, and specifically in areas like hand hygiene training, remains underexplored. The aim of this scoping review was to summarize the existing studies of immersive technology in hand hygiene training of healthcare providers and health professions students. Methods A scoping review following the Levac et al. framework was conducted. The literature search was performed in databases PubMed, CINAHL Ultimate, ScienceDirect (Elsevier), Web of Science in addition to Google Scholar and ProQuest Dissertation & Theses. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis: Extension for Scoping Reviews (PRIMSA-ScR) guideline was used to report the results. We analysed data using tabular and descriptive summary. Results In the final analysis 11 studies from seven countries were included. Most of the studies (n = 10, 90,91%) used virtual reality in hand hygiene training of healthcare providers and health professions students. Most studies have found that immersive technology is useful in teaching hand hygiene (n = 6, 54,55%). There are some theories and concepts that support the teaching of hand hygiene with immersive technology, but most of the research is not supported by them. Theories or concepts were included in two studies (18,18%). Conclusion Immersive technology, especially virtual reality, enhances hand hygiene learning and engagement compared to traditional methods. However, most studies lack theoretical support. To advance this field, exploring immersive technology for further research and incorporating relevant theories is encouraged. Additionally, conducting a thorough cost-effectiveness analysis and establishing a robust evaluation framework, encompassing both short-term and long-term outcomes, will be beneficial for a comprehensive understanding of the impact of immersive technology in hand hygiene education. immersive technology hand hygiene usefulness theory concept poglobljena tehnologija higiena rok uporabnost teorija koncept true false true Springer Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Znanstveno delo 2024-11-27 14:26:13 2024-11-27 14:26:13 2024-11-28 08:09:19 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2024 0 0 str. 1-11 Letn. 24, članek št. 1329 2024 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 2024-01-22 2024-11-07 2024-11-19 616-083+613 216568835 10.1186/s12909-024-06320-2 1472-6920 https://bmcmededuc.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12909-024-06320-2 1 2cba64d9-acc3-11ef-82e2-00155d000105 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=186977 s12909-024-06320-2.pdf s12909-024-06320-2.pdf 1 656005519B8321B966AA6540A848C7A0 a854182b7178dcdbba3d226bc36dd9cb1a18c1410d15d4601d5ed043a262cbb2 4787095d-acc3-11ef-82e2-00155d000105 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=186978 Fakulteta za zdravstvene vede 0 0 0
