Abstract

Virtual reality (VR) is a potentially powerful technology for enhancing assessment in mental health. At any time or place, individuals can be transported into immersive and interactive virtual worlds that are fully controlled by the researcher or clinician. This capability is central to recent interest in how VR might be harnessed in both treatment and assessment of mental health conditions. The current review provides a summary of the advantages of using VR for assessment in mental health, focusing on increasing ecological validity of highly controlled environments, enhancing personalization and engagement, and capturing real-time, automated data in real-world contexts. Considerations for the implementation of VR in research and clinical settings are discussed, including current issues with cost and access, developing evidence base, technical challenges, and ethical implications. The opportunities and challenges of VR are important to understand as researchers and clinicians look to harness this technology to improve mental health outcomes.

虚拟现实作为心理健康研究和实践的临床工具
。
虚拟现实(VR)是一种潜在的强大技术,可用于加强心理健康评估。在任何时间、任何地点,个人都可以被传送到沉浸式、交互式的虚拟世界中,而这些虚拟世界完全由研究人员或临床医生控制。这种能力是最近人们对如何利用虚拟现实治疗和评估精神健康状况的兴趣的核心。目前的综述总结了使用VR进行心理健康评估的优势,重点是提高高度受控环境的生态有效性,增强个性化和参与度,以及在现实环境中捕获实时、自动化的数据。讨论了在研究和临床环境中实施虚拟现实的考虑因素,包括当前的成本和获取问题,发展证据基础,技术挑战和伦理影响。随着研究人员和临床医生希望利用这项技术改善心理健康状况,了解VR的机遇和挑战非常重要。
