“…Virtual reality (VR) technology provides a good "roaming experience" for building users and architects, which can be applied in the process of scheme design evaluation, demonstration, and proof [10]. Integrating BIM and VR technologies to establish an efficient integration system can simulate all stages of the building and improve the application of sustainable design in the building [11]. New technology can improve the accuracy of engineering cost estimation (ECE), and technical reform is also an important part of architectural major in colleges and universities [12].…”

With the continuous development of digital technology and the Internet of Things (IoT), the teaching methods for architecture major in higher vocational colleges have also undergone major changes. New technologies and instruction methods in Engineering Cost Budgeting teaching can stimulate students’ learning interest and improve education quality and students’ comprehensive learning ability. In order to improve the teaching level of engineering cost budgeting major and stimulate students’ interest in learning, this work first introduces backpropagation neural network (BPNN) into engineering cost estimation (ECE). Then, the BPNN-based ECE model is trained by the sample data to estimate the project’s total quotation and comprehensive unit price. The error between the real and predicted values is analyzed. Second, the building information modeling (BIM) technology and virtual reality (VR) technologies are integrated into teaching engineering cost budgeting. The investigation, research, and analysis are conducted before and after applying BIM and VR technology in practical teaching. The results show that the proposed BPNN-based ECE model-estimated total quotation and comprehensive unit price fit well the sample values. The BPNN-based ECE model can be applied to teaching engineering cost budgeting. It can improve the calculation accuracy, and the relative error can be controlled within a certain range and has a certain potential to replace manual budgeting. It can provide some reference for the research of engineering cost technology. Classroom teaching under the integration of BIM and VR technologies can improve the students’ homework quality, academic performance, and teaching quality to a certain extent. Integrating BIM and VR technology in classroom teaching can enhance students’ communication, cooperation ability, oral defense scores, comprehensive scores, and professional skills.

“…After the second screening, if the two independent researchers disagreed on the results, the three experts discussed and reached a consensus. Consequently, 18 papers were included in this study [14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31]. The paper's content was compiled by M.Y.…”

In this scoping review, we investigated psychotherapies and psychological support provided during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic to clarify its recipients and the methods employed. We used Scopus and PubMed as the search engines on October 18, 2022, employing specific search terms (″COVID* ″ AND (″Psychotherap*″ OR ″psychological support*″) AND ″psychological distress*″). The initial search yielded 153 articles, of which 18 met the eligibility criteria after two rounds of screening. The distribution of participants ranged from the general population to patients with COVID-19 and those who had recovered. However, no studies of patients with post-COVID-19 sequelae were found. The distribution of the types of psychotherapies and psychological support varied and the use of new technology was suggested. Online interventions comprised the majority of the means of psychotherapies and psychological support. This study suggests that psychotherapies and psychological support during the COVID-19 pandemic were influenced by the social situation.

“…Despite the growing importance and necessity of distant-delivered treatment or non-directive treatment for psychiatric problems in this pandemic era, there has not been much research related to VR interventions for COVID-19-related psychological distress [ 35 ]. Although various studies have found that VR-based therapies could be beneficial for various mental health disorders, there has been a paucity of information on whether beneficial effect of VR-based intervention could be generalized into patients and medical staff with COVID-19-related mental-health problems [ 36 ]. To the best of our knowledge, one systematic review study [ 36 ] conducted a systematic review of VR technology for the treatment of mental health problems during COVID-19.…”

Objective The prolonged coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic is likely to cause psychological distress in people. This systematic review aimed to identify the effectiveness of virtual reality (VR)-based psychological intervention among individuals with psychological distress during the COVID-19 crisis. PubMed, Ovid MEDLINE, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Embase, and PsycINFO databases were searched for articles published until July 2022.Methods The available citations were deduplicated and screened by two authors using the title and abstract information. Eligibility criteria were constructed according to the PICOT guidelines. Empirical studies of all designs and comparator groups were included if they appraised the impact of an immersive VR intervention on any standardized measure indicative of psychological distress (stress, anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic symptoms) or improvements in quality of life in participants, including COVID-19 patients, medical staff working with COVID-19 patients, and people who had experienced strict social distancing during the COVID-19 pandemic.Results The results were discussed using a narrative synthesis because of the heterogeneity between studies. Seven of the studies met the inclusion criteria. There were two randomized controlled trials and five uncontrolled studies on VR interventions.Conclusion All studies reported significant improvement in a wide range of psychological distress during COVID-19, ranging from stress, anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic symptoms to quality of life, supporting the efficacy of VR-based psychological intervention. Our results suggest that VR intervention has potential to ameliorate COVID-19-related psychological distress with efficacy and safety.
