Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Is virtual reality a useful and usable tool to improve the psychological well-being of PPC operators? study primary obtv: assessment of occupational psychological well-being (divided into stress, depression, anxiety and risk of burnout) in the population of health professionals working in pediatric palliative care; verify if the virtual reality tool leads to an improvement change at the level of the investigated items (feasibility study). The treatment will have a duration of 4 weeks, with the execution of two sessions per week with the use of a viewer positioned on the head that allows users to navigate and interact in real time with a three-dimensional (3D) environment At time zero (T0), the participants will be administered, shortly before the application of virtual reality, the Mini-Z survey 2.0 questionnaires (the single item burnout question), Depression Anxiety Stress Scales 21 (DASS-21), and a demographic questionnaire (gender, age, profession, shift work, years of work in PPCs). At the end of the compilation, two vision treatments will follow, which will take place three to four days apart.

At time T1 (second week) and time T2 (third week) the DASS-21 will initially be administered followed by two weekly treatments with a visor. At the end (T3) the compilation of both tests (Mini-Z survey 2.0-the single item burnout question and the DASS-21) will be repeated following the last two applications of the viewer.
