Evaluation of the potential of different intervention methods and camera perspective/position (during live demonstration).
| Mean (SD) | E-learning (n=51) | HMD-based (n=49) | Tutor-led (n=50) | Total (n=150) | P a |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| The format (amount of information and length) of the course conducted was engaging and appropriate. | 4.6 (0.6) | 4.4 (0.8) | 4.8 (0.5) | 4.6 (0.7) | 0.055 |
| The [e-learning application | recorded lecture | presentation] available in the study adequately provided me with the basic knowledge to perform a single-button surgical suture manually. | 3.8 (0.7) | 3.9 (0.7) | 4.3 (0.7) | 4.0 (0.7) | 0.001 |
| The [e-learning videos | stereoscopic video via HMD | live demonstration] explained the instructions on how to perform a single-button suture manually in an understandable way. | 4.5 (0.8) | 4.4 (0.7) | 4.9 (0.4) | 4.6 (0.7) | <0.001 |
| I was able to remember the information given (on wound care and suture materials). | 4.7 (0.6) | 4.8 (0.5) | 4.9 (0.3) | 4.8 (0.5) | 0.218 |
| I was able to remember the given instructions (for performing the surgical single-button suture) well and apply them accordingly during the practical exercise. | 4.5 (0.5) | 4.5 (0.6) | 4.6 (0.5) | 4.5 (0.6) | 0.423 |
| [The use of [videos caused me discomfort and fatigue during use (while watching video) | stereoscopic videos using an HMD caused me dizziness and nausea during use] | The live demonstration caused me fatigue while watching] | 1.5 (0.7) | 1.6 (0.9) | 1.4 (0.7) | 1.5 (0.8) | 0.659 |
| The chosen perspective of [the videos | the stereoscopic 180° video | my position to the live demonstration] I would evaluate as follows: (1≙poor, 5≙excellent). | 4.7 (0.5) | 4.0 (0.8) | 4.6 (0.7) | 4.4 (0.7) | <0.001 |
| A [camera perspective | perspective] from opposite (spectator position) I would evaluate as follows: (1≙poor, 5≙excellent). | 2.7 (1.4) | 3.0 (1.3) | 4.0 (1.2) | 3.2 (1.4) | <0.001 |
| The potential of [videos | stereoscopic 180° videos and HMDs | live demonstrations] to provide the viewer with a feeling of immersion (putting oneself in the position of the practitioner), I would evaluate as follows: (1≙very low, 5≙very high). | 4.2 (0.7) | 4.5 (0.5) | 4.2 (0.7) | 4.3 (0.7) | 0.040 |
