Virtual reality boosts discharge readiness after prostate surgery

This study tested whether using virtual reality (VR) to teach patients about post-surgery care helps them feel more ready to go home after a prostatectomy. 46 adults were split into two groups: one received standard discharge instructions, and the other used a VR program. The VR group reported higher readiness scores. The findings suggest that immersive technology could improve how well patients understand and prepare for recovery at home.
