VR-Based Mindfulness Meditation for Stress Reduction
This study is looking at how a 15-minute guided mindfulness meditation session using virtual reality (VR) can help adults reduce stress. You might be a good fit if you are 18 or older and don't have visual or hearing problems that would prevent you from using VR. The study aims to see if this VR Mindfulness Meditation Program can lower your stress levels and improve your emotional state right after the session. Researchers will also check how satisfied you are with the program. The study is currently unclear on its recruitment status and plans to include 34 participants.
- Study design
- This study is an interventional study with 34 planned participants. It uses a randomized controlled design, meaning participants are randomly assigned to either the VR mindfulness group or a standard relaxation group.
- What's involved
- Participants will complete pre-intervention measurements, engage in either a VR mindfulness session or standard relaxation exercises, and then complete post-intervention measurements immediately after the session.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Participants are followed immediately post-intervention (Day 1, 15 minutes after the session ends).

What this trial measures
- Reduction in Perceived Stress LevelsImmediately post-intervention (Day 1, 15 minutes after the session ends).
Changes in perceived stress levels measured using the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10) to assess the effectiveness of the VR-based mindfulness observational meditation intervention.
- Changes in Emotional StateImmediately post-intervention (Day 1, 15 minutes after the session ends).
Emotional state assessed using the Depression Anxiety Stress Scales (DASS-21) and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI). These indicators will be evaluated pre- and post-intervention to measure reductions in anxiety and overall emotional improvement.
- Participant Satisfaction with InterventionImmediately post-intervention (Day 1).
Participant satisfaction assessed via a structured satisfaction survey post-intervention, including feedback on usability, perceived effectiveness, and comfort with the VR program.
- Physiological Stress ResponseBaseline (before intervention) and immediately post-intervention (Day 1).
Heart rate measured pre- and post-intervention using a heart rate monitor to assess changes in physiological stress levels as a biomarker.
- Changes in Emotional State Using STAIBaseline (prior to intervention) and immediately post-intervention (Day 1, 15 minutes after the session ends).
Anxiety levels will be assessed using the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), which measures both state and trait anxiety components. The STAI-S (State Anxiety) evaluates participants' current feelings, while the STAI-T (Trait Anxiety) measures participants' general tendencies toward anxiety. Measurements will be taken pre- and post-intervention to evaluate reductions in anxiety.
