L'effetto della realtà virtuale immersiva e dei video rilassanti sui pazienti con carcinoma polmonare

15 settembre 2026 aggiornato da: Kadir Baysoy, Hacettepe University

L'effetto della realtà virtuale immersiva e dei video rilassanti sulla gravità dei sintomi, l'angoscia e la qualità della vita nei pazienti con carcinoma polmonare sottoposti a chemioterapia

Lung cancer is one of the types of cancer with a high incidence and mortality rate in the world and in our country. Frequently used protocols in the chemotherapy treatment of lung cancer are the Platinum-based drugs. The main side effects of this chemotherapy protocols are nausea, vomiting, neutropenia and fatigue. The side effects of cancer and chemotherapy cause patients to experience distress and their quality of life is adversely affected. Some non-pharmacological methods such as meditation, breathing exercises, and massage can be used to manage the symptoms experienced by patients due to chemotherapy for supportive care. One of these methods is virtual reality. In addition, audio-visual (video) therapy methods are other methods that can be used in the symptom management of these patients. In this study, the effect of interactive/immersive virtual reality intervention and relaxant video intervention on symptom severity, distress level and quality of life of patients diagnosed with lung cancer will be evaluated. Patients will be assigned to 3 groups: virtual reality intervention group (VR), relaxant video application group (RV) and control group (CG) by stratified randomization according to the disease stage and drug type. During the chemotherapy treatment, the patients will take interactive/immersive virtual reality (VR group) or relaxant video application (RV group) consisting of nature-themed scenarios. The interventions will be done 2 times and about 20 minutes in the first day of each chemotherapy cycle, in total 2 cycles. The control group will receive routine nursing care. Research data will be collected at different intervals during the chemotherapy course with the Patient Information Form (only once), the Edmonton Symptom Assessment Scale, the NCCN Distress Thermometer, the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-C30) and the Patient Follow-up Form and will be analyzed with the IBM SPSS program.

Panoramica dello studio

Descrizione dettagliata

Lung cancer is one of the types of cancer with a high incidence and mortality rate in the world and in our country. Frequently used protocols in the chemotherapy treatment of lung cancer are the Platinum-based drugs. The main side effects of this chemotherapy protocols are nausea, vomiting, neutropenia and fatigue. The side effects of cancer and chemotherapy cause patients to experience distress and their quality of life is adversely affected. In addition to pharmacological approaches, some non-pharmacological methods such as meditation, breathing exercises, and massage can be used to manage the symptoms experienced by patients due to chemotherapy. One of these methods is the virtual reality application, which has started to be used in the field of health with the developing technology, allowing individuals to experience another reality where they are. In addition, audio-visual (video) therapy methods are other methods that can be used in the symptom management of these patients. It is stated that virtual reality intervention and audio-visual therapies (relaxant video application) have positive effects on cancer patients and patients receiving chemotherapy treatment. In this study, the effect of interactive/immersive virtual reality intervention and relaxant video application on symptom severity, distress level and quality of life of patients diagnosed with lung cancer will be evaluated. Patients diagnosed with lung cancer, receiving chemotherapy treatment for the first time, and whose protocols are Cisplatin+Etoposide, Carboplatin+Etoposide, Paclitaxel+Carboplatin, Docetaxel+Cisplatin, Cisplatin+Pemetrexed, Carboplatin+Pemetrexed, Cisplatin+Vinorelbine, Gemcitabine+Cisplatin/Carboplatin and only Cisplatin, will be included in the study. Patients will be assigned to 3 groups: virtual reality application group (VR), relaxant video application group (RV) and control group (CG) by stratified randomization according to the disease stage and drug type. During the chemotherapy treatment, an interactive/immersive virtual reality intervention (VR group) and relaxant video intervention (RV group) consisting of nature-themed scenarios, which are preferred due to their relaxing effects, will be carried out for 2 times, about 20 minutes, the first day of each chemotherapy cycle, during 2 chemotherapy cycles. The control group will receive routine/standard nursing care. Research data will be collected at different intervals during the chemotherapy cures with the Patient Information Form (only once), the Edmonton Symptom Assessment Scale, the NCCN Distress Thermometer, the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-C30) and the Patient Follow-up Form and will be analyzed with the IBM SPSS program.

Armi e interventi

Gruppo di partecipanti / Arm
Intervento / Trattamento
Sperimentale: Virtual Reality Group

Immersive Virtual Reality Group: Immersive virtual reality will be applied to this group 2 times during chemotherapy infusion (total of 2 chemotherapy cures) to reduce the symptom severity and distress level and improve the quality of life.

For Immersive Virtual Reality interventions; The Meta Quest 2 device will be used and the virtual scenarios/contents were selected from "Nature Treks" app bought by the researcher.

(Initially, a total of 6 VR contents and 6 similar videos were created for patients who received cisplatin+etoposide treatment consisting of three sessions of one chemotherapy cure (4 cure, 12 sessions). Due to the limited number of patients and regular attendance to treatment, other similar drug treatments were also included and finally, a total of 2 cures, 2 VR contents and 2 videos were selected and these 2 contents will be used.)

These:

  1. Walking in the Forest and Similar Video
  2. Sitting on the Beach and Similar Video

To apply immersive virtual reality (Virtual Environments)

Sperimentale: Relaxing Video Group

Relaxing Video Group: Participants in this group will watch relaxing videos 2 times for 20 min during chemotherapy infusion (total of 2 chemotherapy cures) to reduce the symptom severity and distress level and improve the quality of life.

The videos are slideshow-type videos consisting of various images and relaxing music prepared by the researcher. The videos were created by selecting images/sounds similar with the themes/scenarios in the virtual reality application.

(Initially, a total of 6 VR contents and 6 similar videos were created for patients who received cisplatin+etoposide treatment consisting of three sessions of one chemotherapy cure (4 cure,12 sessions). Due to the limited number of patients and regular attendance to treatment, other similar drug treatments were also included and finally, a total of 2 cures, 2 VR contents and 2 videos were selected and these 2 contents will be used)These:Walking in the Forest and Similar Video,Sitting on the Beach and Similar Video

To watch relaxing videos including pictures and sounds prepared by researcher

Nessun intervento: Control Group

Patients in the control group will receive standard nursing care applied in the chemotherapy unit. Standard nursing care; Training patients on the method of chemotherapy administration, its duration, content, side effects, and coping, preparing the drugs for administration, preparing the patients for treatment, starting the infusion, monitoring the patients during the infusion for side effects, infusion complications, changes in vital signs, etc. Includes applications.
