  • Augmented reality for improving clinical decision skills
    Publication . Jorge, Nelson; Gaspar, Pedro; Morgado, Lina
    Augmented reality (AR) is a technology that allows a computurized virtual object to be overlaid directed or indirectely in a really environment in a real time (Azuma, 1997; Zhou, Duh & Billinghurst, 2008) and differs from virtual reality (VR) since irt combines the real world with virtual objects, supplementing the reality instead of substituting, making the bridge between virtual and real world in a perfect way (Chang, Morreale & Medicherla, 2010).
  • E-Learning and Augmented Reality (AR) for chronic wound assessment: promoting learning and quality of care
    Publication . Jorge, Nelson; Morgado, Lina; Gaspar, Pedro
    This investigation aimed to verify if augmented reality (AR) increases students' motivation and enhances the development of clinical decision-making skills in wound diagnosis and treatment. A quasi-experimental study was carried out with a sample of 54 nursing students. A comparative analysis of the progress of the control and experimental group was made using the data extracted from the simulator and a questionnaire. First, both groups used e-FER, a virtual simulator that simulates the diagnosis and treatment of virtual clinical cases. In the second moment, the control group continued using only e-FER, while the experimental group used e-FER combined with an AR application to observe the chronic wounds. The results showed that AR enhanced student performance, particularly in wound diagnostic parameters, with highly statistically significant differences (p<0,001), and registering high levels of motivation and simulator usability, even with the introduction of an additional device in the activity.
  • Augmented learning environment for wound care simulation
    Publication . Jorge, Nelson; Morgado, Lina; Gaspar, Pedro
    This paper describes part of a doctoral study where the effect of AR in nursing student’s decision making skills was investigated, by comparing the usage of a virtual simulator ( in wound care diagnosis and treatment, with and without the support of AR to visualize the wounds. A literature review was conducted to identify, select and critically analyse the effectiveness of AR in medical education.The goal of this investigation was to verify if AR enhances the development of clinical decision-making skills in wound diagnosis and treatment. The results showed that AR enhanced students’ performance in wound diagnostic parameters, with highly statistically significant differences (P < 0.001) in the Mann-Whitney U and Wilcoxon tests.
  • Realidade aumentada mediada por tecnologias móveis no ensino da enfermagem
    Publication . Jorge, Nelson; Gaspar, Pedro; Morgado, Lina
    Este projeto integra a Realidade Aumentada (RA) no ensino da enfermagem, utilizando objetos digitais imersos no mundo real para simular a resolução (diagnóstico e tratamento) de casos clínicos de feridas. Acreditamos que a RA, aliada ao diagnóstico e tratamento destas feridas, permitirá um diagnóstico imersivo e mais pormenorizado, podendo trazer benefícios para o desenvolvimento de competências no ensino da enfermagem. A utilização de tecnologias móveis para obtenção da RA permitirá aos estudantes observarem as feridas num contexto simulado, próximo do real. O projeto será suportado pela plataforma e-fer desenvolvida por investigadores do Instituto Politécnico de Leiria (IPL), a que será acrescentada uma componente de RA em casos clínicos que possam beneficiar desta integração, constituindo-se como projeto de investigação para doutoramento do primeiro autor.
  • Avaliação das competências dos estudantes num simulador virtual de tomada de decisão clínica
    Publication . Jorge, Nelson; Gaspar, Pedro; Morgado, Lina
    O presente estudo foca-se na avaliação das competências dos estudantes num simulador virtual de tomada de decisão clínica (e-fer), comparando o seu desempenho na resolução de casos clínicos com e sem recurso à realidade aumentada.
