Abstract：
BACKGROUND: Early detection of cancer and provision of appropriate treatment can increase the cancer cure rate and reduce cancer-related deaths. Early detection requires improving the cancer screening quality of each medical institution and enhancing the capabilities of health professionals through tailored education in each field. However, during the COVID-19 pandemic, regional disparities in educational infrastructure emerged, and educational accessibility was restricted. The demand for remote cancer education services to address these issues has increased, and in this study, we considered medical metaverses as a potential means of meeting these needs. In 2022, we used Metaverse Educational Center, developed for the virtual training of health professionals, to train radiologic technologists remotely in mammography positioning.
OBJECTIVE: This study aims to investigate the user experience of the Metaverse Educational Center subplatform and the factors associated with the intention for continuous use by focusing on cases of using the subplatform in a remote mammography positioning training project.
METHODS: We conducted a multicenter, cross-sectional survey between July and December 2022. We performed a descriptive analysis to examine the Metaverse Educational Center user experience and a logistic regression analysis to clarify factors closely related to the intention to use the subplatform continuously. In addition, a supplementary open-ended question was used to obtain feedback from users to improve Metaverse Educational Center.
RESULTS: Responses from 192 Korean participants (male participants: n=16, 8.3%; female participants: n=176, 91.7%) were analyzed. Most participants were satisfied with Metaverse Educational Center (178/192, 92.7%) and wanted to continue using the subplatform in the future (157/192, 81.8%). Less than half of the participants (85/192, 44.3%) had no difficulty in wearing the device. Logistic regression analysis results showed that intention for continuous use was associated with satisfaction (adjusted odds ratio 3.542, 95% CI 1.037-12.097; P=.04), immersion (adjusted odds ratio 2.803, 95% CI 1.201-6.539; P=.02), and no difficulty in wearing the device (adjusted odds ratio 2.020, 95% CI 1.004-4.062; P=.049). However, intention for continuous use was not associated with interest (adjusted odds ratio 0.736, 95% CI 0.303-1.789; P=.50) or perceived ease of use (adjusted odds ratio 1.284, 95% CI 0.614-2.685; P=.51). According to the qualitative feedback, Metaverse Educational Center was useful in cancer education, but the experience of wearing the device and the types and qualities of the content still need to be improved.
CONCLUSIONS: Our results demonstrate the positive user experience of Metaverse Educational Center by focusing on cases of using the subplatform in a remote mammography positioning training project. Our results also suggest that improving users\' satisfaction and immersion and ensuring the lack of difficulty in wearing the device may enhance their intention for continuous use of the subplatform.

摘要：
背景：早期发现癌症并提供适当的治疗可以提高癌症治愈率并减少与癌症相关的死亡。早期发现需要提高每个医疗机构的癌症筛查质量，并通过在每个领域进行量身定制的教育来增强卫生专业人员的能力。然而,在COVID-19大流行期间，教育基础设施出现了地区差异，教育的可及性受到限制。解决这些问题的远程癌症教育服务需求增加,在这项研究中，我们认为医学隐喻是满足这些需求的潜在手段。2022年，我们使用了Metaverse教育中心，为卫生专业人员的虚拟培训而开发，远程训练放射技师进行乳房X线照相术定位。
目的：本研究旨在调查Metaverse教育中心子平台的用户体验以及与持续使用意向相关的因素，重点是在远程乳腺X线摄影定位培训项目中使用该子平台的案例。
方法：我们进行了多中心，2022年7月至12月的横断面调查。我们进行了描述性分析，以检查Metaverse教育中心的用户体验，并进行了逻辑回归分析，以阐明与持续使用子平台的意图密切相关的因素。此外,使用了一个补充的开放式问题来获得用户的反馈，以改进Metaverse教育中心。
结果：分析了192名韩国参与者的反应（男性参与者：n=16，8.3％；女性参与者：n=176，91.7％）。大多数参与者对Metaverse教育中心感到满意（178/192，92.7％），并希望将来继续使用该子平台（157/192，81.8％）。不到一半的参与者（85/192，44.3%）在佩戴设备时没有困难。Logistic回归分析结果显示，持续使用意向与满意度相关（调整比值比3.542，95%CI1.037-12.097；P=.04），浸泡(调整后的比值比2.803，95%CI1.201-6.539；P=0.02)，佩戴设备无困难（调整后的比值比2.020，95%CI1.004-4.062；P=0.049）。然而,连续使用意向与兴趣(调整后比值比0.736,95%CI0.303-1.789;P=.50)或感知的易用性(调整后比值比1.284,95%CI0.614-2.685;P=.51)无关.根据定性反馈，Metaverse教育中心在癌症教育中很有用，但是佩戴设备的体验以及内容的类型和质量仍然需要提高。
结论：我们的结果通过关注在远程乳腺X线摄影定位培训项目中使用子平台的案例，证明了Metaverse教育中心的积极用户体验。我们的结果还表明，提高用户的满意度和沉浸感，并确保缺乏佩戴设备的难度，可能会增强他们持续使用子平台的意图。
