An Immersive Virtual Reality Treatment Learning Module for UNLV Occupational Therapy Students
Paolo Castro
ProQuest LLC, O.T.D. Dissertation, University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Virtual reality refers to the technology used to create multi-sensory, three-dimensional environments its users can interact with. Occupational therapists may find virtual reality-based therapy appealing as it allows them to access many virtual environments and tasks that would be difficult to recreate in traditional settings. Despite literature suggesting their willingness to use it in practice, there is an evidence-to-practice gap caused by low self-efficacy and knowledge of how to operate and apply it. The author created a learning module for occupational therapy students to see how it affects perceived clinical competency. The results of the learning module showed statistically significant improvements in self-efficacy, attitudes toward using virtual reality-based therapy, and knowledge after taking this learning module. This project contributes to what is known about how learning modules can affect perceived clinical competency in using virtual reality-based therapy.
