About

Through virtual reality technology and mindfulness therapy, we can intervene the patients with Hematologic Neoplasms during chemotherapy, hoping to improve their symptoms and self-efficacy.

In recent years, the intervention method of giving mindfulness has achieved good results in the management of symptoms related to cancer patients, but the compliance of patients with conventional mindfulness intervention is low. The virtual reality intervention based on mindfulness can effectively mobilize the enthusiasm of patients to participate in research and the compliance of mindfulness training. We aim to combine virtual reality with mindfulness intervention to intervene patients with hematologic neoplasms during chemotherapy, To improve their symptoms.
