Virtual reality boosts Self-Care after Weight-Loss surgery

This study tested whether using virtual reality glasses to teach patients about their care after bariatric surgery improves their ability to manage their own health. Sixty adults who had weight-loss surgery were split into two groups: one group watched a 15-20 minute educational video with VR glasses before leaving the hospital, while the other group received standard care. Researchers measured self-care skills and body mass index over three months to see if the VR approach made a difference.
