| Core Tip |
This study explores the feasibility and effectiveness of a virtual reality (VR) platform for reducing restrictive practices in psychiatric care. Conducted at Southern Health National Health Service Foundation Trust, United Kingdom, the study used VR scenarios for training staff in three inpatient psychiatric wards. Various outcome measures like the general self-efficacy scale, generalised anxiety disorder assessment 7, and others were used. Results indicated high statistical significance for some variables, although some showed lower statistical power. The VR platform, evaluated using the System Usability Scale, was found to be highly usable. No significant differences in confidence levels were observed between the VR and treatment as usual groups, indicating the potential of VR as an effective tool for training in reducing restrictive practices. |
