Pre-test (open symbols) and post-test scores (filled symbols) for the TT group (blue) and the VRT group (red); data are also shown for the TT group after completing the VR training (blue squares with x).
The black horizontal lines show mean scores. The asterisks indicate significant differences (* = p < 0.05; ** = 0.001 < p < 0.05; *** = p < 0.001).

Results of post-training satisfaction and self-confidence surveys for the VRT and TT groups.
For each item, data are shown for the VRT and TT groups. Each bar represents the percentage of respondents for each rating. The asterisks indicate significant differences between groups (*** = p<0.001).
