What this trial studies

This pilot test evaluates an interactive virtual occupational safety training system designed specifically for home healthcare workers. Participants will engage with one of three training modules and subsequently perform a walk-through in a simulated home environment to identify potential hazards. The study aims to assess the transfer of knowledge gained from the virtual training to real-world applications. The primary outcome focuses on learning transfer, measured by the participants' ability to identify hazards, while the secondary outcome evaluates their responses to those hazards.
