Virtual Reality-Enhanced Parent Education in Neonatal Intensive Care

Sponsor: Jouf University

Summary

This randomized pilot clinical trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness and feasibility of virtual reality (VR)-enhanced parent education in improving neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) caregiving practices among parents of hospitalized neonates. The study will also examine the safety and tolerability of VR use among parents. Researchers will compare VR-enhanced education with standard NICU parent education to determine whether immersive VR training improves parents' knowledge, confidence, and ability to perform caregiving tasks. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either VR-enhanced education or standard education. Participants receiving VR education will engage in short immersive sessions demonstrating NICU orientation and caregiving procedures. All participants will complete assessments and observations related to caregiving practices and VR tolerability throughout the study period.
