简介:心脏磁共振成像(CMR)至关重要,但是幽闭恐惧症影响了10%的患者。隐喻者,身临其境的虚拟和增强现实环境,具有医疗保健潜力。我们为幽闭恐惧症患者提供基于隐喻的CMR模拟。方法:3例心肌病患者,最初由于幽闭恐惧症而拒绝CMR,在基于隐喻的虚拟医院中通过虚拟现实耳机接受培训。通过问卷调查和焦虑量表评估训练效果。结果:患者成功完成了循证训练,适应CMR模拟。在CMR日,所有进入机器没有问题和减少的焦虑。患者发现培训有用,建议熟悉平台。讨论:我们的研究证明了隐喻在缓解CMR相关幽闭恐惧症方面的潜力。沉浸式的性质增强了患者的准备,虽然可用性的改进是必要的。进一步的研究应该将这种方法与替代方法进行比较。
心脏磁共振成像(CMR)是诊断心脏问题的重要工具,但是有些患者由于幽闭恐惧症而无法接受治疗。为了解决这个问题,研究人员正在探索催眠和模拟等新方法。一项新兴技术,隐喻者,3D虚拟现实(VR)环境,正在接受医疗保健测试。这项研究创建了基于隐喻的模拟,以帮助幽闭恐惧症患者为CMR做准备。三名有心脏问题的患者被给予VR耳机,以访问隐喻中的虚拟医院。里面,他们一步一步地接受CMR训练,经历这个过程,听起来很现实。训练进行了1周,3天,在真正的CMR前1天。测量焦虑水平。所有患者都没有问题地完成了虚拟训练。在第一次模拟中,由于焦虑,一些人无法完成进入虚拟CMR机器。然而,通过最后的模拟,都成功了。在CMR日,所有完成扫描没有问题,从最初的训练开始,他们的焦虑水平显著下降。患者发现培训很有帮助,但平台的可用性需要改进。该研究表明,基于隐喻的模拟可以帮助患者克服幽闭恐惧症,成功接受CMR。这项技术有望模拟医疗情况,缓解患者的恐惧,改进准备工作。然而,需要进一步的工作,使其易于使用,无需援助。这项研究鼓励更多的研究来评估隐喻对更广泛的患者群体的有用性,将其与催眠或镇静等其他方法进行比较。
Introduction: Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) is vital, but claustrophobia affects 10% of patients. The metaverse, an immersive virtual and augmented reality environment, has healthcare potential. We present a metaverse-based CMR simulation for claustrophobic patients. Methods: Three
cardiomyopathy patients, initially CMR-refusing due to claustrophobia, received training via a virtual reality headset in a metaverse-based virtual hospital. Training efficacy was assessed through questionnaires and anxiety scales. Results: The patients successfully completed metaverse-based training, adapting to the CMR simulation. On CMR day, all entered the machine without issues and with reduced anxiety. Patients found the training useful, suggesting platform familiarization. Discussion: Our
study demonstrates the metaverse\'s potential in alleviating CMR-related claustrophobia. The immersive nature enhances patient preparation, although usability improvements are needed. Further research should compare this approach with alternatives.
Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) is a vital tool for diagnosing heart problems, but some patients cannot undergo it due to claustrophobia. To address this, researchers are exploring new methods like hypnosis and simulations. One emerging technology, the metaverse, a 3D virtual reality (VR) environment, is being tested in healthcare. This
study created a metaverse-based simulation to help claustrophobic patients prepare for CMR. Three patients with heart issues were given VR headsets to access a virtual hospital in the metaverse. Inside, they were trained for CMR step by step, experiencing the process and sounds realistically. Training was done 1 week, 3 days, and 1 day before the real CMR. Anxiety levels were measured. All patients completed the virtual training without issues. During the first simulations, some could not complete entering the virtual CMR machine due to anxiety. However, by the final simulation, all succeeded. On CMR day, all completed the scan without problems, and their anxiety levels decreased significantly from the initial training. Patients found the training helpful, but the platform\'s usability needed improvement. The
study demonstrates that metaverse-based simulations can help patients overcome claustrophobia to successfully undergo CMR. This technology holds promise for simulating medical situations, easing patient fears, and improving preparation. However, further work is needed to make it user-friendly and accessible without assistance. This
study encourages more research to assess the usefulness of the metaverse for broader patient groups, comparing it with other methods like hypnosis or sedation.
