PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Immediately after each intervention (Week 1, Week 2)

Population: All participants who received the intervention.

3 open questions were asked during the focus group about intergration of virtual reality(VR) in the daily lives of the participants. The answers were assessed through a qualitative data theme analysis. The total number of mentionned items by the intervention group is reported for two themes: obstacles(factors that make the integration of VR harder in the participant's life), facilitating factors(factors that make the integration of VR easier in the participant's life), .
