“…Gerçekleştirilen uygulamaların amacı hastalığın getirdiği semptomları azaltmak ve kişilerin hastalık durumlarını ortadan kaldırmaya yardımcı olarak yaşam kalitesini arttırmaktır. Literatürde yer alan çalışmalar gösteriyor ki sanal gerçeklik ve artırılmış gerçeklik uygulamalarının otizmli kişilerde sosyal beceriler, biliş ve işleyiş durumunu geliştirdiği ve uygulanabilir olduğu [7,10,11,12,13], dikkat eksikliği ve hiperaktivite bozukluğu olan kişilerde dikkat eksikliği durumunda iyileşme gözlendiği [8], fobi durumunda sıklıkla sanal gerçeklik gözlüklerinin tercih edildiği görülmekte olup uygulamalara bağlı olarak kişilerin korku ve anksiyete durumlarında azalma olduğu [14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29] görülmektedir. Diğer mental bozukluk durumlarında ise kişilerin günlük aktivitelerini daha kolay yapabilmelerine, yaşam kalitesini artırdığı yapılan çalışmalar ile ortaya koyulmuştur [35,38,48].…”

“…Gerçekleştirilen AR sistemi ile kullanıcıların laboratuvar ortamı dışında da korku durumları ile başa çıkabilmeleri sağlanmıştır. Gerçekleştirilen sistem ile her hastanın sürecinin kendine özgü özelliklerine ve anksiyete bozukluğu tanısına bağlı olarak farklı durumlara ve uyaranlara uyarlanabilir olduğu görülmüştür [24].…”

In this study, studies conducted in the last 10 years in psychiatric disorders with virtual reality and augmented reality application were examined. Studies done so far; The psychiatric disorder studied, the equipment used, the number of people participating in the study, the database in which the study was scanned, and the results of the studies were evaluated according to the criteria. Studies using disease-specific questionnaires include 30% of all studies. In some studies, it is seen that physiological parameters are also used. Studies using physiological parameters correspond to only 10% of all studies. The practices carried out are to reduce the symptoms brought by the disease and to increase the quality of life by helping to eliminate the disease conditions of the people. Approximately 77% of the studies were carried out in the field of virtual reality and 23% in the field of augmented reality. Based on the articles examined within the scope of the study, some deficiencies in virtual reality and/or augmented reality applications in psychiatric diseases were identified. For example, whether the applications made have a disturbing effect on the users should be determined by using the SSQ questionnaire. In addition, the auditory parameters as well as the visual parameters that make up the virtual environment should be used effectively in this process. It has been observed that among the studies in the literature, the positive or negative effects of auditory parameters on users are not mentioned. It is considered that it will be beneficial for studies to examine the effect of auditory elements in the use of virtual reality environment.

Background Mental health disorders are the leading cause of health-related problems worldwide. It is projected that mental health disorders will be the leading cause of morbidity among adults as the incidence rates of anxiety and depression grow worldwide. Recently, “extended reality” (XR), a general term covering virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and mixed reality (MR), is paving the way for the delivery of mental health care. Objective We aimed to investigate the adoption and implementation of XR technology used in interventions for mental disorders and to provide statistical analyses of the design, usage, and effectiveness of XR technology for mental health interventions with a worldwide demographic focus. Methods In this paper, we conducted a scoping review of the development and application of XR in the area of mental disorders. We performed a database search to identify relevant studies indexed in Google Scholar, PubMed, and the ACM Digital Library. A search period between August 2016 and December 2023 was defined to select papers related to the usage of VR, AR, and MR in a mental health context. The database search was performed with predefined queries, and a total of 831 papers were identified. Ten papers were identified through professional recommendation. Inclusion and exclusion criteria were designed and applied to ensure that only relevant studies were included in the literature review. Results We identified a total of 85 studies from 27 countries worldwide that used different types of VR, AR, and MR techniques for managing 14 types of mental disorders. By performing data analysis, we found that most of the studies focused on high-income countries, such as the United States (n=14, 16.47%) and Germany (n=12, 14.12%). None of the studies were for African countries. The majority of papers reported that XR techniques lead to a significant reduction in symptoms of anxiety or depression. The majority of studies were published in 2021 (n=26, 30.59%). This could indicate that mental disorder intervention received higher attention when COVID-19 emerged. Most studies (n=65, 76.47%) focused on a population in the age range of 18-65 years, while few studies (n=2, 3.35%) focused on teenagers (ie, subjects in the age range of 10-19 years). In addition, more studies were conducted experimentally (n=67, 78.82%) rather than by using analytical and modeling approaches (n=8, 9.41%). This shows that there is a rapid development of XR technology for mental health care. Furthermore, these studies showed that XR technology can effectively be used for evaluating mental disorders in a similar or better way that conventional approaches. Conclusions In this scoping review, we studied the adoption and implementation of XR technology for mental disorder care. Our review shows that XR treatment yields high patient satisfaction, and follow-up assessments show significant improvement with large effect sizes. Moreover, the studies adopted unique designs that were set up to record and analyze the symptoms reported by their participants. This review may aid future research and development of various XR mechanisms for differentiated mental disorder procedures.
