This scoping review aims to analyze features, functions, and effectiveness evaluation of VR in the application of breast cancer care.
A scoping review was conducted based on the framework suggested by Arksey and O'Malley. Eight electronic databases (i.e., PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, CINAHL, CNKI, China Wanfang Database, and China Biology Medicine disc.) was searched. Articles published from inception till 01 April 2024.
After screening 16,606 articles, a total of 21 papers were included. 10 immersive VR studies and 8 non-immersive VR studies. The main themes identified included the classification and function of VR, content elements of VR for Breast cancer care (e.g., symptoms, rehabilitation, and education), and evaluation of the effectiveness of VR (e.g., clinical outcomes, experience, adverse effects).
VR in 2 categories has potential applicability in symptom, rehabilitation, and educational management, with high satisfaction and acceptance by most patients. However, the current application of VR in breast cancer is limited, and there is still a need to optimize VR component design and focus on its long-term impact on patients and related stakeholders in the future.
本综述旨在分析虚拟现实（VR）在乳腺癌护理应用中的特征、功能及效果评估。
基于阿克西和奥马利提出的框架进行综述。检索了八个电子数据库（即PubMed、EMBASE、Cochrane图书馆、科学网、护理学与健康领域数据库、中国知网、中国万方数据库和中国生物医学光盘数据库）。检索了从数据库建库至2024年4月1日发表的文章。
在筛选了16606篇文章后，共纳入21篇论文。其中10项沉浸式VR研究和8项非沉浸式VR研究。确定的主要主题包括VR的分类和功能、用于乳腺癌护理的VR的内容要素（如症状、康复和教育）以及VR效果评估（如临床结果、体验、不良反应）。
两类VR在症状、康复和教育管理方面具有潜在适用性，大多数患者满意度和接受度较高。然而，目前VR在乳腺癌中的应用有限，未来仍需优化VR组件设计，并关注其对患者及相关利益相关者的长期影响。
