June 1, 2022 updated by: University of Oulu

Virtual 360°-Tour in Coronary Computed Tomography - Effects of 360° Virtual Counselling Environment in CCTA Patient's Anxiety and Process Time

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the virtual 360° counselling environment in the anxiety and process time of the patients coming to CCTA (coronary computed tomography angiography). The virtual, 360° environment 'Virtual 360°-tour in coronary computed tomography' uses 360°- technology based on spherical panorama images and resembles the spaces of the hospital according to the patient's pathway in CT-examination and provides information to the patient at various stages of the pathway.

Detailed Description

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the virtual 360° counselling environment in the anxiety and process time of the patients coming to CCTA (coronary computed tomography angiography).

The virtual, 360° environment 'Virtual 360°-tour in coronary computed tomography' uses 360°- technology based on spherical panorama images and resembles the spaces of the hospital according to the patient's pathway in CT-examination and provides information to the patient at various stages of the pathway. Patients who have referred first time to the coronary computed tomography can access the virtual CT examination environment via link before entering the hospital. Using the environment requires a network connection and is possible with a computer, tablet or phone. The environment has digital counselling materials in text, image, animation and video formats in three different virtual spaces/views, the environment and examination are presented via pathway of example 59-year female patient with arterial hypertension and exercise related chest pain (angina pectoris).

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
anxiety measured with State-Trait Anxiety Inventory for adults (STAI)
Time Frame: 1 month
The STAI meter is a two-part adult anxiety meter developed by Charles D. Spielberger and his research team (1983). It separates situation related anxiety (STATE-A) from character related tendency towards anxiety (TRAIT-A). User evaluates his own current anxiety on a four-step scale with forty questions. The respondents choose from the following options at each question: 1 = no anxiety at all, 2 = slight anxiety, 3 = some anxiety 4 = very much anxiety. Scores range from 20 to 80: mild anxiety 20-39 points, moderate anxiety 40-59 points and strong anxiety 60-80 points.
1 month

Secondary Outcome Measures
