Mindfulness-based Stress Reduction by Therapeutic VR

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Mindfulness-based Stress Reduction by Therapeutic VR

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Therapeutic VR+MBT was provided using a head-mounted display which designed to enclose eyes and block external stimuli almost entirely. Patients can see immersive natural scenes through VR devices and hear stereo sounds through headphones. We uploaded a programme, which was designed to induce recordings of guided meditations (The same as the MBT), musics for meditation and consists of meditation-videos of 40 minutes. We will guide patients to choose their favorite meditation videos, such as forest, seaside, lake, snow mountain, field and so on.
