Investigation of the Effects of Virtual Reality Applications on Individuals Diagnosed With Schizophrenia
Sponsor: Nigde Omer Halisdemir University
Summary
Despite all the positive facts about the use of virtual reality technology in the assessment and treatment of schizophrenia, there are few publications per year. There are few controlled studies covering the effectiveness of virtual reality programs in the training of cognitive and social skills. In future research, more randomized studies with more robust samples are expected, because the results of experimental studies so far encourage this new treatment approach. Therefore, the aim of this study is to examine the effects of virtual reality application on sensory, social and cognitive areas in individuals with schizophrenia.
