Awake surgery can be highly stressful for patients. In fact, being awake, patients could perceive that the environmental demands are taxing or exceed their adaptive abilities. We proposed the use of Virtual Reality as a functional and effective tool for a new class of clinical applications aimed at helping patients to cope with these specific stressful situations. Using coping skills that have been learnt during the virtual experience, patients can reduce their psychological stress and improve their collaboration and - in general - the outcome of the intervention.
清醒手术对患者来说可能压力极大。事实上，处于清醒状态时，患者可能会觉得环境要求过高或超出了他们的适应能力。我们提议将虚拟现实作为一种功能强大且有效的工具，用于一类新型临床应用，旨在帮助患者应对这些特定的压力情境。通过运用在虚拟体验中所学的应对技巧，患者可以减轻心理压力，改善合作情况，总体上也能提升干预效果。
