Summary

This study tests whether a 10-minute virtual reality (VR) relaxation session can lower stress in healthcare workers before they enter the operating room. About 80 volunteers will either use a VR headset or sit in a quiet room, and their heart rate and stress levels will be measured. The goal is to find a simple, effective way to help OR staff feel calmer and more focused before surgery.
