“…Most studies reported improved functional capacity and some reported quality‐of‐life parameters of patients receiving haemodialysis. Randomised controlled trials conducted in Spain (Segura‐Ortí & García‐Testal, 2019) and Brazil (Maynard et al, 2019) and a feasibility RCT carried out in Spain (Segura‐Ortí et al, 2019a) showed that nonimmersive VR exercise can increase the physical activity level, improve physical function and health‐related quality of life of patients receiving haemodialysis treatment. A similar RCT conducted in Spain (Segura‐Orti et al, 2019b) demonstrated that a nonimmersive VR exercise program during haemodialysis improved health‐related quality of life however the improvement was lost once the exercise program stopped.…”

Background An understanding of the potential of virtual reality to affect the level of engagement in self‐care and health‐related quality of life is required for patients receiving haemodialysis. Objective This scoping review aimed to collate, summarise, and report on related study findings to identify evidence gaps and draw conclusions from the existing literature. Methods The methodological steps outlined in the Arksey and O'Malley framework combined with modifications of Levac and colleagues guided this systematic scoping review. MEDLINEComplete, Embase, CINAHLComplete and PsychINFO databases were searched. Additionally, hand searches of key articles and journals were performed. Results From the database searches, 610 studies were identified with 11 meeting the inclusion criteria; another study was added after searching reference lists of included articles, resulting in 12 included articles. The quality, study design and type of virtual reality intervention varied. Only three studies used immersive virtual reality. Several studies demonstrated significant improvement in the physical activity level and a reduction in fatigue in patients during haemodialysis, with no adverse events. Despite the demands of haemodialysis sessions, this study showed that virtual reality interventions may improve the level of haemodialysis patients' adherence and engagement with treatment. Conclusions Findings favour the use of virtual reality to improve physical health and engagement with treatment. However, there is a need for more rigorous study designs within different clinical settings to provide high‐quality evidence regarding other ways that virtual reality interventions could improve the quality of life of haemodialysis patients.

<p>This research leads to the object of learning in network-based learning programs application of the use of VR in online learning for students in Higher EducationThis research is located in the Education Technology study program, Universitas Negeri Jakarta, Indonesia. This study focuses on learning theories, learning methods and learning models used in technology to improve learning outcomes in class. This method used explanatory sequential mixed methods research. Field trials were conducted for students, with a total of 12 students and field trials would be conducted for students with a total of 30 people in 2018. Data collection through interviews of 15 students and 3 lecturers for 40 minutes. The results showed that using VR can foster motivation to learn to develop student skills in simulating learning models and learning can be efficient and effective. VR can also enhance students for teaching practices and train students to innovate learning models used in technology.</p>

“…The benefits of chairside exposure to VR remain largely unexplored in hemodialysis (HD) patients. Previous studies on VR-related experiences have focused on non-immersive gaming devices (e.g., Nintendo Wii) [10][11][12]. Therapeutic uses of VR might provide similar benefits as video gaming, including distraction, entertainment, and engagement, that allow patients to feel like they can escape the mundane clinical setting where they spend over ≥9 hrs/wk [13,14].…”

Mindfulness-based Virtual Reality Intervention in Hemodialysis Patients: A Pilot Study on End-user Perceptions and Safety

et al. 2021

Background: Virtual reality (VR) is an evolving technology that is becoming a common treatment for pain management and psychological phobias. While non-immersive devices (i.e., the Nintendo Wii) have been previously tested with hemodialysis patients, no studies to date have used fully-immersive VR as a tool for intervention delivery. The current pilot trial tests the initial safety, acceptability, and utility of VR during maintenance hemodialysis treatment sessions-particularly, whether VR triggers motion sickness that mimics or negatively impact treatment related symptoms (e.g., nausea). Methods: Hemodialysis patients (n=20) were enrolled in a Phase I single-arm proof-of-concept trial. While undergoing hemodialysis, participants were exposed to our new JovialityTM VR program. This 25-minute program delivers mindfulness training and guided meditation using the Oculus Rift head-mounted display. Participants experienced the program on two separate occasions. Prior and immediately following exposure, participants recorded motion-related symptoms and related discomfort on the Simulator Sickness Questionnaire. Utility measures included end-user's ability to be fully immersed in the virtual space, interact with virtual objects, find hardware user-friendly, and easily navigate the JovialityTM program with the System Usability Score scale. Results: Mean age was 55.3 (+/-13.1) years; 80% male; 60% African American; and mean dialysis vintage was 3.56 (+/-3.75) years. At the first session, there were significant decreases in treatment and/or motion-related symptoms following VR exposure (22.6 vs. 11.2; p=0.03); scores >20 indicate problematic immersion. HD end-users reported high levels of immersion in the VR environment and rated the software easy to operate, with average System Usability Scores of 82.8/100. Conclusions: Hemodialysis patients routinely suffer from fatigue, nausea, lightheadedness, and headaches that often manifest during their dialysis sessions. Our JovialityTM VR program decreased symptom severity without adverse effects. VR programs may be a safe platform to improve the dialysis patient experience.
