简要总结
The goal of this feasibility study is to learn whether a VR intervention is feasible, acceptable, and satisfactory for healthcare workers in surgical wards to help mitigate stress. Secondary objectives include assessing its potential contribution to stress reduction, user comfort, and practical integration into daily workflows.
Participants will take part in a single 10-minute VR intervention session.
详细描述
This study investigates the use of the HealthyMind Virtual Reality (VR) application as an innovative intervention to reduce stress among healthcare workers in surgical departments. Although workplace stress is common, there is currently a lack of structured interventions to address it.
The VR application provides healthcare professionals with the opportunity to relax through immersive, calming three-dimensional environments, such as a sunset by the sea or a mountain landscape. The VR headset is paired with an armband that non-invasively measures physiological parameters, including heart rate and heart rate variability. Based on these data, the VR environment automatically adapts to the user's stress level, for example by introducing a guided breathing exercise.
The intervention can be used at any self-selected moment during a shift, with the aim of offering a short and effective recovery break. The primary aim of this study is to evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, and user satisfaction of the VR intervention among healthcare workers. Secondary objectives include assessing its potential contribution to stress reduction, user comfort, and practical integration into daily workflows.
