This study aims to determine the effect of virtual reality content on the comfort level of cancer patients. This study used a quasi-experimental non-equivalent control group design and was conducted on 60 cancer patients. The intervention uses the virtual reality content "My Comfortable Environment," which was developed based on Kolcaba's comfort theory. Comfort level was measured using the Shortened General Comfort Questionnaire. The Wilcoxon and Mann-Whitney U tests were used to determine the differences before and after the intervention within the group and between the study groups. There was a significant mean difference between pre-test and post-test in the intervention group with P < .000, Z = -4.785, and in the control group with P < .041, Z = -2.032. These results indicate that interventions with virtual reality content and guided imagery both affect the comfort level of cancer patients. However, if the test was conducted between groups, there was a significant difference between the intervention group and the control group with a P value of <.000. These results indicate that the virtual reality content intervention can significantly increase the level of patient comfort through modifying various aspects of patient comfort, especially environmental aspects.
本研究旨在确定虚拟现实内容对癌症患者舒适度的影响。本研究采用准实验非等同对照组设计，对 60 名癌症患者进行了研究。干预措施使用了基于 Kolcaba 舒适理论开发的虚拟现实内容“我的舒适环境”。舒适度使用简化一般舒适度问卷进行测量。Wilcoxon 和 Mann-Whitney U 检验用于确定组内和组间干预前后的差异。干预组的预测试和后测试之间存在显著的均值差异，P <.000，Z = -4.785，对照组的 P <.041，Z = -2.032。这些结果表明，虚拟现实内容和引导想象干预都影响了癌症患者的舒适度。然而，如果在组间进行测试，则干预组和对照组之间存在显著差异，P 值 <.000。这些结果表明，虚拟现实内容干预可以通过改变患者舒适度的各个方面，特别是环境方面，显著提高患者的舒适度水平。
