About

The benefits of virtual reality (VR) in managing pain and anxiety for critical care patients has never been demonstrated, even if a positive effect has been demonstrated in other populations of patients. A preliminary survey in 8 critical care units equipped with the VR mask, identified a under-use of masks by critical care teams. Before addressing the question of the effectiveness of the VR mask in a population of critical care patients, we must first identify the barriers and facilitators to its use and propose a new organization in critical care units promoting the use of VR mask by autonomous caregivers. A qualitative study will be conducted with patients and caregivers of a critical care unit to identify the barriers and facilitators to the use of virtual reality masks in the management of pain and anxiety by caregivers.

Enrollment: 30 patients

Sex: All

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

• Volunteer caregivers working in the cardiac critical care unit for at least 6 months.
• Adult patients treated in the unit with a condition requiring at least one potentially painful and anxiety-provoking invasive procedure (e.g., Central Venous Line placement, Arterial Catheter Insertion, ...) allowing the use of the VR mask.
• Patients able to understand the instructions without language barriers, to ensure the validity of the interviews and the quality of the data collected.

Exclusion criteria

• Staff not volunteering to participate in the study.
• Patients whose condition presents a medical contraindication to the use of VR mask or who present cognitive disorders.
