Nursing, Virtual Reality, Advanced Cardiac Life SupportAbstract
This is a scoping review on the use of Virtual Reality (VR), through serious games, in training healthcare students and professionals in Advanced Life Support (ALS). The objective is to map and describe the available evidence on these
educational technologies. The protocol is based on the JBI methodology, registered in the OSF, and reported according to PRISMA-ScR. Searches will be conducted in MEDLINE/PubMed, Scopus, CINAHL, LILACS, EMBASE, Web of Science,
IEEE Xplore, ACM Digital Library, and grey literature, with no language or time restrictions. Original studies evaluating VR with serious games applied to ALS will be included. Findings will be synthesized narratively and presented in tables
and figures.
