Virtual reality is a tool for education, relaxation for nurses and patients
Oncology Nursing News, by Darlene Dobkowski, MA; 2/13/24
Simulated experiences using virtual reality (VR) can help oncology nurses alleviate a patient’s anxiety before undergoing treatment, provide comfort in palliative care settings, and serve as an educational tool for both nurses and patients.
Editor's Note: To the section that asks,"Can this technology be used for all patients, or are there certain patients who may not be suited for this?", I add caution for use with palliative /hospice patients who cope with dementia.
