‘Effects of virtual reality exposure on psychological distress in adolescent oncology patients’
‘Adolescents and young adults (AYA) with cancer often experience significant psychological distress during hospitalization. Virtual reality (VR) is a non-pharmacological intervention, yet its application in pediatric oncology remains limited. Findings suggest that VR is a feasible, well-tolerated, and potentially effective tool for reducing psychological distress in AYA oncology patients. Such preliminary results support its integration into multidisciplinary care. Further large-scale studies are needed to confirm its efficacy.“
