To describe crisis support teams’ technological openness and learning attitudes toward the GenAI-based VP system called Crisis Support Virtual Reality (VR), highlighting its potential significance.
Key Findings:
Participants felt positive about practicing psychological first aid (PFA) using Crisis Support VR.
Crisis Support VR was viewed as a complement to traditional PFA training.
The lowest perceived learning benefit was related to observing avatars' facial and body expressions.
Interpretation:
Limitations:
Limited research on GenAI-based VP systems for crisis support teams’ learning.
Concerns about the authenticity of simulations generated by GenAI-based VP systems, which may affect learning outcomes.
Conclusion:
Future research should evaluate the effects of Crisis Support VR on learning outcomes.
