ObjectivesTo determine the effectiveness of virtual reality (VR)-based intervention on the symptoms and rehabilitation management in patients with breast cancer.DesignSystematic review and meta-analysis.Study selectionWe included all eligible randomised controlled trials and quasi-experimental studies (published in English and Chinese).ParticipantsPatients with breast cancer (≥18 years) undergoing cancer treatment.InterventionsAny intervention administered to improve the symptoms and rehabilitation of patients with breast cancer. The control group was given conventional care.OutcomesAll outcomes were as follows: pain, fatigue, anxiety, depressive symptoms, cognitive function, and range of motion of upper limb in patients with breast cancer.Data sourcesWe searched PubMed, Embase, CENTRAL and SinoMed, four electronic databases, covering the database establishment period to January 2022.Review methodsTwo reviewers independently extracted content and data consistent with the prespecified framework and assessed risk bias. Random-effects meta-analysis was used to pool data across trials. Meta-analysis was performed using Review Manager V.5.4.ResultsA total of eight studies met the eligibility criteria and were included in this study. The combined effect size showed that VR was positive for improving patients’ anxiety(standard mean differenc (SMD)=−2.07, 95% CI= (−3.81 to −0.34), I2=95%) and abduction of upper limbs (MD=15.54, 95% CI= (12.79 to 18.29), I2=0%), but fatigue (SMD=−0.92, 95% CI= (−4.47 to 2.62), I2=99%) was not. Qualitative analysis showed VR improved patients' depressive symptoms, pain and cognitive function.ConclusionsVR technology has a good effect on symptoms and rehabilitation management of patients with breast cancer, but the quality of evidence is low, and the sample size is small. To date, there are few intervention studies, therefore, giving precise recommendation or conclusion is difficult. We have a favourable view of this, and more clinical studies are needed in the future to improve the credibility of the results.

“…Ivan Sutherland first introduced VR in 1965 and NASA developed a virtual interface environment workstation (VIEW) in the 1980s, Palmer Luckey introduced the Oculus Rift in 2012 (Daily, 2021), paving the way for VR in education. In May 2018, Labster announced the development of a virtual simulator to provide an immersive experience for biology and anatomy lab courses, introducing VR as a digital tool to address the unique skill requirements of biology laboratories (Aebersold, 2018).…”

The purpose of this three-article dissertation was to expand knowledge and theory regarding digital tool use in biology laboratory courses, such as microbiology, which requires specific laboratory skill development through the perception of instructors and students. Article 1 establishes the broad digital literacy and fluency problem in education by providing definitions and the context behind digital literacy fluency and its impact on acquisition of knowledge in digital learning environments. The study provided a picture of the lack of knowledge about the use of digital tools in education and practical problems around appropriate implementation, infrastructure, and preparedness. Article 2 presents results of a literature research study about the foundational, pandemic-induced, and current digital tool use in biology and microbiology lab courses. Recommendations for improvement in digital tool implementation, pedagogical approach, and appropriate selection to meet learning outcomes were provided. Article 3 describes a 3-layered study to build a new instrument to understand minority-student perceptions of identity and digital literacy and technology barriers on student success in STEM courses. The study identified challenges and benefits of digital tool use in virtual microbiology lab courses, unique challenges of underrepresented populations, and the need to develop an instrument to capture the context of this unique population.

Esports integration into PE 4 courses amidst COVID-19 is quite challenging for physical education instructors as part of the distance learning component. This study aimed to identify the attributes developed among the 70 PE 4 students playing Mobile Legends Bang Bang (MLBB) at Christ the King College de Maranding, Inc. The study utilised a triangulation mixed-methods design and revealed that most of the PE 4 male and female students (85.7%) spent at most 3 hours per day playing MLBB. Their top 2 rankings in MLBB were either epic or legendary, and their medal system scores reached either gold or gold MVP. The students' levels of attributes such as interpersonal communication, cooperation, integrity, self-discipline, teamwork, leadership, and problem-solving skills were developed. There was a significant relationship between the students' attributes and their MLBB medal system scores. Moreover, it revealed four themes that represented the experiences of the participants: (1) creating problems and difficulties that students have to overcome; (2) developing in the students the attributes for personal growth and interpersonal development; (3) allowing students to form meaningful relationships and interactions; and (4) giving students a sense of achievement and satisfaction. Hence, playing esports has enhanced the PE 4 students’ meaningful learning experiences and inspired them to embrace esports as part of the curriculum. For further validation, the same research is needed to identify the other areas or factors that affect playing eSports in physical education courses.
