Abstract：
Fully immersive virtual reality (VR) is an advanced technology increasingly studied and used in palliative care for symptom management. While the findings shed a positive light on its therapeutic potential, VR carries adverse effects, leading to ethical concerns. Based on the clinical experiences of a registered clinical psychologist who is also a certified thanatologist, we put forward a perspective on the importance of professional training for VR therapists in view of the possible risks posed by VR in palliative care. We propose professional trainings on knowledge, skills, and attitudes to ensure patients\' safety while maximizing the therapeutic benefits of VR. Given the scarcity of reports on such an area, we hope this perspective article opens up discussions and contributes to current understanding and emerging future directions to ensure quality and ethical delivery of VR in palliative care.
摘要：
完全身临其境的虚拟现实（VR）是一种先进的技术，在姑息治疗中被越来越多地研究和使用，用于症状管理。虽然这些发现为其治疗潜力提供了积极的启示，VR带来不良影响，导致伦理问题。根据一名注册临床心理学家的临床经验，他也是一名认证医生，鉴于VR在姑息治疗中可能带来的风险，我们提出了对VR治疗师进行专业培训的重要性的观点。我们建议对知识进行专业培训，技能,和态度，以确保患者的安全，同时最大限度地提高VR的治疗效益。鉴于这一领域的报道很少，我们希望这篇观点文章能打开讨论，并有助于当前的理解和新兴的未来方向，以确保VR在姑息治疗中的质量和道德交付。
