Application of immersive virtual reality system for nasal anatomy in otolaryngology teaching for eight-year program medical students
To investigate the effects of an immersive virtual reality system for nasal anatomy in improving the learning interest and theoretical level of eight-year program medical students for nasal anatomy in otolaryngology.
Methods
2
A total of 57 medical students of the 2019 eight-year program in Peking University Health Science Center were divided into three groups naturally
with 19 students in each group. Two of the groups (38 students) were randomly selected as experimental group to receive traditional teaching in combination with the immersive virtual reality system for nasal anatomy
while the remaining group (19 students) served as control group to receive traditional teaching. The teaching effectiveness of the two groups was evaluated through questionnaire surveys and theoretical asses
sment scores in otolaryngology and nasal anatomy. SPSS 27.0 was used to perform statistical analysis. The two groups were compared using the independent samples
t
-test and the chi-squared test.
Results
2
According to the survey results
both groups considered rhinology theory and anatomy learning as a challenge during rhinology internship. A significantly higher proportion of students in the experimental group believed that they gained the greatest achievement in rhinology theory and anatomy learning during internship
as compared with the control group (33/38 vs. 12/19
P
=0.039). The theoretical score for nasal anatomy-related assessment was significantly higher in the experimental group than in the control group [(19.0±1.3) vs. (18.1±1.3)
P
=0.024

.
Conclusions
2
The use of the immersive virtual reality system for nasal anatomy in otolaryngology teaching can promote eight-year program medical students' interest in learning and improve teaching effectiveness.
