背景:青少年可能特别容易受到各种压力源的影响,因为他们仍处于成年期并过渡到成年期。因此,对他们来说,有效的压力管理策略很重要。
目的:本系统综述调查了目前旨在减轻年轻人压力的健康干预措施。特别是,探索了使用虚拟现实(VR)媒介的干预措施。
方法:此混合方法系统评价遵循PRISMA-P(系统评价和荟萃分析方案的首选报告项目)指南,论文来自PsycINFO等数据库,PubMed,科学直接,WebofScience,OpenGrey,和Edutopia.使用预定的标准和特定的关键词来搜索论文。搜索结果进行筛选和提取,所有文章筛选或提取委托所有作者。和解后的任何分歧都由第三作者解决。纳入研究的质量和偏倚风险采用GRADE(建议评估分级,发展,和评估)定量研究工具。对研究进行了定性分析。
结果:总计,包括20项研究,并进行了定性分析,以评估基于VR的干预措施在3个领域的有效性:性质,压力,和学者。
结论:使用VR干预的研究,总的来说,促进了压力的减轻和幸福感的增加。研究结果表明,VR可以作为学生和年轻人缓解压力的可访问且负担得起的媒介。样本量较大,和更多的纳入研究,可能需要在未来的方向。
BACKGROUND: Adolescents can be especially vulnerable to various
stressors as they are still in their formative years and transitioning into adulthood. Hence, it is important for them to have effective stress management strategies.
OBJECTIVE: This systematic
review investigates current well-being interventions that are aimed at reducing stress among young adults. In particular, interventions using the medium of virtual reality (VR) are explored.
METHODS: This mixed methods systematic
review follows the PRISMA-P (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Protocols) guidelines, and papers were gathered from databases such as PsycINFO, PubMed, Science Direct, Web of Science, OpenGrey, and Edutopia. Predetermined criteria and specific keywords were used to search for the papers. Search results were screened and extracted with all article screening or extraction delegated among all authors. Any disagreements after reconciliation were settled by a third author. The quality and risk of bias of included studies were assessed using the GRADE (Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation) Tool for Quantitative Studies. Studies were analyzed qualitatively.
RESULTS: In total, 20 studies were included, and qualitative analysis was performed to evaluate the effectiveness of VR-based interventions in 3 domains: nature, stress, and academics.
CONCLUSIONS: Studies using VR interventions, overall, promoted a reduction in stress and an increase in well-being. The findings suggest that VR may serve as an accessible and affordable medium of stress reduction for students and young adults. Larger sample sizes, and a greater number of included studies, may be required in future directions.
