VR goggles teach Post-Surgery Self-Care in new trial

This study tested whether using virtual reality glasses for discharge education helps patients better care for themselves after bariatric surgery. Sixty adults who had laparoscopic weight-loss surgery were split into two groups: one received standard care, the other watched a 15-20 minute VR training video before leaving the hospital. Researchers measured self-care ability using a questionnaire before surgery and at 1 and 3 months after. The goal was to see if VR makes learning easier and more effective.
