The main goal of this systematic review is to synthesize existing evidence on the use of immersive virtual reality (IVR) to train professionals as well as to identify the main gaps and challenges that still remain and need to be addressed by future research. Following a comprehensive search, 66 documents were identified, assessed for relevance, and analysed. The main areas of application of IVR-based training were identified. Moreover, we identified the stimuli provided, the hardware used and information regarding training evaluation. The results showed that the areas in which a greater number of works were published were those related to healthcare and elementary occupations. In hardware, the most commonly used equipment was head mounted displays (HMDs), headphones included in the HMDs and handheld controllers. Moreover, the results indicated that IVR training systems are often evaluated manually, the most common metric being questionnaires applied before and after the experiment, and that IVR training systems have a positive effect in training professionals. We conclude that the literature is insufficient for determining the effect of IVR in the training of professionals. Although some works indicated promising results, there are still relevant themes that must be explored and limitations to overcome before virtual training replaces real-world training.

这项系统评价的主要目标是综合有关使用沉浸式虚拟现实（IVR）来培训专业人员的现有证据，并确定仍然存在且需要通过未来研究解决的主要差距和挑战。经过全面搜索，确定了66份文档，评估了相关性并进行了分析。确定了基于IVR的培训的主要应用领域。此外，我们确定了提供的刺激，使用的硬件以及有关培训评估的信息。结果表明，发表大量作品的领域是与医疗保健和基础职业有关的领域。在硬件方面，最常用的设备是头戴式显示器（HMD），HMD中包括的耳机和手持控制器。此外，结果表明，IVR培训系统通常是手动评估的，最常见的指标是在实验前后进行的问卷调查，IVR培训系统对培训专业人员具有积极作用。我们得出的结论是，文献不足以确定IVR在专业人员培训中的作用。尽管一些工作表明了令人鼓舞的结果，但是在虚拟培训取代实际培训之前，仍然需要探索相关主题并克服局限性。我们得出的结论是，文献不足以确定IVR在专业人员培训中的作用。尽管一些工作表明了令人鼓舞的结果，但是在虚拟培训取代实际培训之前，仍然需要探索相关主题并克服局限性。我们得出的结论是，文献不足以确定IVR在专业人员培训中的作用。尽管一些工作表明了令人鼓舞的结果，但是在虚拟培训取代实际培训之前，仍然需要探索相关主题并克服局限性。
