The Advances of Immersive Virtual Reality Interventions for the Enhancement of Stress Management and Relaxation among Healthy Adults: A Systematic Review

Maria Velana et al.

Summary: The rapid changes in human contacts due to the COVID-19 crisis have increased the demand for evidence-based psychological programs delivered digitally. This systematic review examines stress management interventions utilizing virtual reality and suggests future directions for practice. The results show that VR-based interventions can positively impact stress levels and stress-related biomarkers. However, the development of rigorous VR protocols that incorporate elements from traditional treatment approaches is crucial. Large-scale VR studies are needed to evaluate their effectiveness compared to other mental health interventions.
