The objective of this study was to evaluate, in physiotherapy students, the fidelity of an immersive 360º VR video recorded from a first-person perspective, corresponding to the main different steps of a patient suffering a stroke. The creation of simulation scenarios based on immersive VR technology is considered a high-fidelity method that can enable the acquisition of skills related to experiential learning in neurological disorders.

L’objectif de l’étude était d’étudier comment la pandémie de COVID-19 a affecté la santé mentale et la qualité de vie des étudiants masculins et féminins en physiothérapie à l’Universidad Europea de Madrid. Les résultats de cette étude soutiennent la nécessité d’interventions psychologiques en tant que programmes préventifs dans des situations comme la pandémie de COVID-19.
