Cardiovascular Health Education Via Virtual Reality for Breast Cancer Survivors Receiving Anthracyclines or Trastuzumab
Sponsor: Virginia Commonwealth University
Summary
The main goal of this study is to test a virtual reality (VR) program, Survivors' Virtual Reality Survivorship Experience (SurviVRSE), designed to help Breast Cancer survivors (n=30) learn about heart health. The aims are to test the usability, feasibility, and acceptability o the intervention. Additionally, follow-up assessments will examine changes in women's cancer therapy related cardiac dysfunction knowledge and heart healthy behaviors (e.g., physical activity).

Interventions
Cardiovascular Health Education and Gaming through Virtual Reality
Prior to engaging the intervention, participants will complete a baseline survey. The virtual reality intervention will be delivered at one infusion treatment. Participants will complete all education modules and affiliated games. The education focuses on potentially cardiotoxic treatments (e.g., anthracyclines), ways to identify cancer treatment related cardiovascular dysfunction, and heart healthy behaviors that survivors can initiate during survivorship. Following the intervention participants will complete a survey similar to the baseline survey. One-month following the intervention participants will complete one final survey.
