Exploring the Application of Virtual Reality in Enhancing Chest Percussion Techniques, Reducing Caregiver Stress, and Improving Teaching Effectiveness for Caregivers of Children With Pneumonia

Обзор

This study intends to adopt a Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) design to explore the application of virtual reality in training chest percussion techniques for children with pneumonia. The aim is to evaluate the accuracy and efficiency of caregivers in performing this technique. The study will analyze the potential clinical benefits of improving caregivers' chest percussion skills and reducing caregiver stress

Подробное описание

This study explores the application of virtual reality (VR) in training chest percussion techniques for children with pneumonia, aiming to enhance the accuracy and efficiency of caregivers performing this technique. Chest percussion is a critical component of pulmonary physiotherapy, especially for pediatric patients with respiratory diseases requiring adjunctive chest therapy.

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the use of VR technology in chest percussion training, including its underlying principles, clinical practice, and future development. By reviewing both domestic and international research, the study analyzes the potential clinical benefits of improving caregivers' chest percussion skills and alleviating caregiver stress.

Research Objective:

To explore the application of virtual reality in enhancing chest percussion techniques, reducing caregiver stress, and improving teaching effectiveness for caregivers of children with pneumonia.
