Augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) technologies have rapidly expanded within healthcare due to their innovative capabilities for enhancing patient care, medical training, and health outcomes. This systematic review synthesizes quantitative studies published post-2020, explicitly investigating AR and VR healthcare interventions. The review identifies, evaluates, and summarizes the effectiveness of these interventions, highlighting their clinical implications, outcomes, and implementation challenges. Twenty eligible studies were included, examining various health conditions such as cardiopulmonary resuscitation training, mental health disorders, stroke rehabilitation, and orthopedic recovery. Findings indicate generally positive outcomes from AR and VR interventions; however, issues including technology usability, adherence, and methodological limitations are noted. This review underscores the significant potential of AR and VR interventions in healthcare, but emphasizes the need for more rigorous research to address current gaps in the clinical effectiveness and application.
由于增强现实（AR）和虚拟现实（VR）技术在改善患者护理、医学培训和健康结果方面具有创新能力，它们在医疗保健领域迅速得到了广泛应用。本系统综述综合了2020年后发表的定量研究，明确调查了AR和VR在医疗保健方面的干预措施。该综述识别、评估并总结了这些干预措施的有效性，突出了它们的临床意义、结果和实施挑战。纳入了20项符合条件的研究，这些研究考察了各种健康状况，如心肺复苏培训、心理健康障碍、中风康复和骨科康复。研究结果表明，AR和VR干预措施总体上产生了积极的结果；然而，也指出了包括技术可用性、依从性和方法学局限性等问题。本综述强调了AR和VR干预措施在医疗保健领域的巨大潜力，但也强调需要进行更严格的研究，以弥补当前临床有效性和应用方面的差距。
