Trial Outcomes & Findings for Virtual Reality Education Program to Reduce Anxiety During Radiation Therapy (NCT NCT04029961)
NCT ID: NCT04029961
Last Updated: 2021-05-10
Results Overview
The STAI was administered as a self-evaluation questionnaire at three time points. The STAI consists of two scales: one for measuring trait anxiety and one for measuring state anxiety. Both of the scales have ranges from 20 - 80, with higher scores representing higher anxiety.

Participant Flow
Participants were recruited based on screening pre-existing medical records conducted by the study team/staff and physician concurrence at 3 academic medical centers within the same regional health network between July 2019 and March 2020. The first participant was enrolled in August 2019 and the last participant was enrolled in March 2020.
Of 28 consented participants, 26 were found eligible and randomized to an intervention. One participant was considered ineligible after consent after moving treatment out of state and one participant's participation in the study was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Timeframe: Directly pre/post education (education appointment), directly following first radiation therapy (RT) treatment (first RT session)Population: Proportional differences in pre-post intervention changes in the "met" need count per arm of information need topics related to radiation therapy treatment using the Information Needs Scale scores.
The Information Needs Scale was administered as a self-evaluation questionnaire at three time points. Participants were asked to indicate how important it was for them to have information on a set of items related to radiation therapy treatment from 1 (not important) to 9 (very important). Participants were also asked to indicate whether they felt their needed level of information for each item was met, partially met, or unmet at the time of questionnaire completion, which is reported here.
