to evaluate the effect of guided imagery relaxation through virtual reality on anxiety in women with cervical cancer undergoing radiochemotherapy.
randomized, non-blinded, single-center clinical trial conducted at a cancer reference hospital. 52 women participated, with randomized allocation of 24 in the control group and 28 in the experimental group (12 sessions of guided imagery relaxation through virtual reality, applied three times a week). The outcome was evaluated using the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory and statistical analysis was performed using the Generalized Linear Mixed Model.
n the experimental group, women presented significant anxiety traits (p=0.010) before the intervention. Between the 4th and 12th week of follow-up, there was a reduction in anxiety levels, without statistical significance.
guided imagery relaxation through virtual reality provided evidence of anxiety reduction in women with cervical cancer undergoing radiochemotherapy and may contribute to clinical practice. Brazilian Clinical Trial Registry: RBR-7ssvytb.
评估虚拟现实引导意象放松对接受放化疗的宫颈癌女性焦虑的影响。
这是在一家癌症参考医院进行的随机、非盲、单中心临床试验。共有 52 名女性参与，随机分为对照组 24 名和实验组 28 名（接受 12 次虚拟现实引导意象放松，每周 3 次）。使用状态特质焦虑量表评估结果，使用广义线性混合模型进行统计分析。
在实验组中，女性在干预前表现出明显的特质焦虑（p=0.010）。在随访的第 4 周到第 12 周之间，焦虑水平有所下降，但无统计学意义。
虚拟现实引导意象放松为接受放化疗的宫颈癌女性提供了减轻焦虑的证据，并可能有助于临床实践。巴西临床试验注册处：RBR-7ssvytb。
