Summary
This study tested whether using a virtual reality (VR) headset could help reduce anxiety in parents whose children were in the hospital. About 485 parents took part, and researchers compared their anxiety levels to those who received standard care without any technology. The goal was to see if a simple, non-invasive distraction like VR could make a stressful situation easier to handle.
