Key Points

This research aims to compare the effectiveness of virtual reality versus traditional methods in improving knowledge and motivation in paramedic disaster triage education.
Randomized study with paramedic students (n=83)
Students divided into traditional training (lecture + TTx) and VR-based groups (lecture + VR-SSST)
Knowledge assessed through pre- and post-tests on memory, comprehension, application, and analysis
Motivation measured using the ARCS model
Both training methods improved knowledge post-tests significantly
VR group outperformed in attention, relevance, confidence, and satisfaction dimensions of the ARCS model, all with p<0.001
