Virtual Reality for Pediatric Trauma Education - A Preliminary Face and Content Validation Study

In brief

This validation study examines a virtual reality platform designed to make pediatric trauma training more accessible globally. The research assesses whether the VR software effectively teaches trauma management skills, addressing the current barriers of cost and limited availability in traditional pediatric trauma education.

• Virtual reality shows promise as a scalable, cost-effective tool for pediatric trauma training beyond traditional methods.
• Face and content validity are essential first steps in establishing VR as a credible educational modality for trauma care.
• VR technology may help decentralize pediatric trauma education, expanding access to providers in resource-limited settings.
• Early validation studies support VR's potential to enhance hands-on trauma skills in a simulated, safe environment.
