Abstract
Background: Deaths resulting from opioid overdose have increased drastically. Cine-VR simulation is a learning format that immerses the user into a virtual reality environment through the cinematic use of 360-degree video.
Objective: Exploring interprofessional students’ attitudes and perceptions related to learning how to administer naloxone through a virtual reality lens. This is important as this helps to educate how to potentially save the life of another human being.
Method: A qualitative descriptive exploratory approach was used to conduct focus groups (n = 32) on interprofessional undergraduate and graduate student participants following an immersive Cine-VR experience. A holistic coding approach was used whereas two researchers analyzed the data and identified themes and codes.
Results: Four overarching themes emerged: 1) improved knowledge about opioid and use of naloxone, 2) changed perceptions regarding ability to act during a crisis, 3) realism of learning from Cine-VR simulation and 4) improved learning with the help of Cine-VR simulation.
Conclusion: Participants attitudes and perceptions on the use of naloxone were increased. Cine-VR is a successful modality for learning how to identify an overdose and administer the lifesaving drug, naloxone.
