Abstract

Introduction

Nonimmersive virtual reality (NIVR), a computer-generated virtual reality experience wherein users are not fully immersed, has been increasingly used in pediatric healthcare. This study aimed to identify the effects of NIVR-based interventions for children.

Method

A mixed methods systematic review of relevant studies published until December 2023 was conducted. We included samples of healthy children and those with chronic conditions or disabilities, findings related to self-management or social skills, and the NIVR interventions applied. A convergent-integrated design was used for the synthesis.

Results

This review included 22 studies, of which 15 examined children having autism spectrum disorders. Utilizing NIVR was found to be effective in enhancing social skills. Participating in virtual communities with peers having similar conditions was determined to facilitate social support and identity exploration.

Discussion

Healthcare interventions using NIVR need to be explored further to improve self-management and social skills in children with various conditions.

使用非沉浸式虚拟现实技术对儿童进行医疗保健干预：混合方法系统综述》。

介绍：非沉浸式虚拟现实（NIVR）是一种计算机生成的虚拟现实体验，用户不会完全沉浸其中。本研究旨在确定基于 NIVR 的儿童干预措施的效果：我们采用混合方法对 2023 年 12 月之前发表的相关研究进行了系统回顾。我们纳入了健康儿童和患有慢性疾病或残疾儿童的样本、与自我管理或社交技能相关的研究结果以及所应用的 NIVR 干预方法。综述采用了聚合-整合设计：本综述包括 22 项研究，其中 15 项研究对患有自闭症谱系障碍的儿童进行了调查。研究发现，使用 NIVR 能够有效提高社交技能。与情况相似的同龄人一起参与虚拟社区被认为有助于社会支持和身份探索：讨论：需要进一步探索使用 NIVR 的医疗保健干预措施，以改善患有各种疾病的儿童的自我管理和社交技能。
