Abstract:
Objective:To review the application of virtual reality in cardiac rehabilitation patients, identify intervention types, intervention elements, outcome indicators, and application effects.Methods:Electronic retrieval was implemented on PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Cochrane Library, CINAHL, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, WanFang Data, and China Biology Medicine disc, using the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) scoping review guideline as the methodological framework. The search period was from the establishment of the database to April 10, 2023. The literature was extracted, summarized, and analyzed.Results:A total of 16 articles were included. The main types of virtual reality interventions were immersive and non-immersive. The intervention population included patients at different stages of cardiac rehabilitation, with unrestricted intervention venues. The intervention frequency was mostly 2 to 3 times per week, with intervention duration mostly ranging from 30 to 60 minutes and intervention cycles mostly ranging from 3 weeks to 12 months. Virtual reality improved the physical function and mental health of cardiac rehabilitation patients to a certain extent, and patient feedback showed good participation and satisfaction.Conclusions:Virtual reality has a positive impact on cardiac rehabilitation patients, with good safety and feasibility, but the recovery of cardiac function is still controversial. It is still necessary to conduct large sample size, multi center research, and track long-term effects.
