简要总结
This trial studies the use of virtual reality as an educational tool for cancer patients undergoing radiation therapy. The purpose of the study is to learn about virtual reality education (VERT) and if it may be able to help people who are planning to receive radiation therapy. Patient education using virtual reality may result in better understanding and/or decreased anxiety in patients receiving radiation therapy.
详细描述
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
I. To assess if proximal knowledge regarding radiation therapy (RT) treatment is improved as result of radiation therapist-led education sessions utilizing VERT.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVE:
I. To assess if proximal anxiety related to first RT is reduced as result of radiation therapist-led education sessions utilizing VERT.

结局指标
主要结局
Knowledge of radiation therapy (RT)
时间窗: Prior to start of planned RT, on the first treatment day up to completion of the virtual reality education (VERT) intervention of planned RT (up to 9 weeks)
Measured by part 1 of the Radiation Therapy Patient Education Survey by start of RT. The sum of scores from Survey 1.1 for Arm 1 will be compared with that of Arm 2 (using total scores from Survey 1.0 for Arm 2 control group \[CG\]1 and total scores from Survey 1.1 for Arm 2 CG2) using two-sided two-sample t test. Linear regression models will be fitted for adjusted comparison after controlled for disease sites and other important patient and tumor characteristics.
次要结局
- Anxiety in radiation therapy(Prior to start of planned RT, on the first treatment day up to completion of the VERT intervention of planned RT (up to 9 weeks))
