“…VR applications are used in many areas. In addition to pain and anxiety, VR has been used for the pharmacological stroke prevention and to teach patients about the results of atrial fibrillation (Balsam et al, 2018), stroke rehabilitation (Laver, George, Thomas, Deutsch, & Crotty, 2015), improving the skills for performing surgery (Piromchai, Avery, Laopaiboon, Kennedy, & O'Leary, 2015), nasogastric tube placement (Choi, 2017), nursing education (Farra, Smith, & Ulrich, 2017) and school children's pedestrian safety (Schwebel et al, 2018). VR can be used safely in the health care and education areas, and it is a useful application in reducing pain, fear and anxiety-particularly in children during invasive procedures and for increasing the success of procedure.…”

Aim and objectives Virtual reality (VR) can be used during painful procedures in children. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of two different VR methods on procedure‐related pain, fear and anxiety of children aged 5–12 years old during blood draw. Methods This randomised controlled study used parallel trial design guided by the CONSORT checklist, see Supporting Information. The sample of children (n = 136) was allocated to the VR‐Rollercoaster (n = 45), VR‐Ocean Rift (n = 45) and control group (n = 46) using blocked randomisation. The primary outcome was pain scores after the blood draw and fear and anxiety scores before and after the blood draw. Before the blood draw, fear and anxiety scores were assessed using self‐report and reports from the parents and the researcher using the Child Fear Scale and Children's Anxiety Meter. After the blood draw, level of pain experienced was assessed using the Wong–Baker Faces Pain Rating Scale and the fear and anxiety levels experienced by the children during the blood draw were re‐evaluated. Results Pain scores were found to be lower in the VR‐Rollercoaster group and the VR‐Ocean Rift group. A statistical difference was found between groups according to self‐, parent‐ and researcher‐reported fear and anxiety scores after blood draw. While being in VR‐Rollercoaster and VR‐Ocean Rift group reduced children's fear and anxiety, being in the control group increased fear levels by 20% and anxiety levels by 34.1%. Conclusions VR is an effective method in reducing procedure‐related pain, fear and anxiety in children aged 5–12 years old during blood draw. Relevance to clinical practice Evidence‐based guidelines and protocols should be created for nonpharmacological methods such as VR for procedural pain and anxiety in children.

“…One article discussed the use of VR to educate patients with atrial fibrillation. By informing patients about their disease, patients showed to adhere more to their treatment [27]. Cleeren et al [34] showed that 3D animations result in a higher patient knowledge when comparing to a drawn explanation of the same procedure.…”

Review of Digitalized Patient Education in Cardiology: A Future Ahead?

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Introduction: An increased focus on shared decision-making and patient empowerment in cardiology and on patient outcomes such as quality of life (QoL), depression, and anxiety underline the importance of high-quality patient education. Studies focusing on digital means of patient education performed in other disciplines of medicine demonstrated its positive effect in these areas. Therefore, a review of the current literature was performed to (i) evaluate the status of innovative, digitalized means of patient education in cardiology and (ii) assess the impact of digital patient education on outcome parameters (i.e., patient knowledge (or health literacy), QoL, depression, anxiety, and patient satisfaction). Method: A review of the current literature was performed to evaluate the effect of digitalized patient education for any purpose in the field of cardiology. Medline and EMBASE were searched for articles reporting any digital educational platform used for patient education up to May 2020. The articles were compared on their effect on patient knowledge or health literacy, QoL, depression or anxiety, and patient satisfaction. Results: The initial search yielded 279 articles, 34 of which were retained after applying in, and exclusion criteria. After full-text analysis, the total number of articles remaining was 16. Of these, 6 articles discussed the use of smartphone or tablet applications as a means of patient education, whereas 3 reviewed web-based content, and 7 evaluated the use of video (2 three-dimensional videos, from which one on a virtual reality headset). Conclusion: This review demonstrates that digital patient education increases patient knowledge. Overall, digital education increases QoL and lowers feelings of depression and anxiety. The majority of patients express satisfaction with digital platforms. It remains important that developers of digital patient education platforms remain focused on clear, structured, and comprehensible information presentation.

“…In the Polish part of the Heart Failure Pilot Registry of the European Society of Cardiology there was observed low use (66.1%) of oral anticoagulants in heart failure patients with concomitant AF, despite the fact that 98.1% patients had at least two points in the CHA 2 DS 2 VASc score [13]. It is worth emphasising that there are available tools based on three-dimensional movies, which might increase the patients' compliance and translate into higher effectiveness of OAC therapy [14].…”

Comparison of clinical characteristics of real-life atrial fibrillation patients treated with vitamin K antagonists, dabigatran, and rivaroxaban: results from the CRAFT study

The prescription of VKAs declined significantly after the introduction of NOACs. Patients treated with different OACs demonstrated a distinct baseline clinical profile. The highest risk of thromboembolic events and incidence of major bleedings was observed in patients on rivaroxaban, in comparison to patients on VKAs and dabigatran. Among NOACs, patients treated with lower doses of dabigatran and rivaroxaban were older and had a significantly higher risk of thromboembolic and bleeding events.
