Objectives

Narrative objectives1

The study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of regularly experiencing MR (Mixed Reality) and VR (Virtual Reality) as a novel approach to reducing psychological and physical distress in terminal cancer patients. The evaluation will utilize scoring methods such as ESAS (Edmonton Symptom Assessment System) and HADS (Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale) to measure patients' perceived pain and anxiety, along with GSR (Galvanic Skin Response) to assess physiological stress responses. Additionally, comprehensive analysis of miRNA changes in the blood over time will be conducted to develop a new biomarker for objectively measuring stress.

Assessment

Primary outcomes

The effectiveness of regularly experiencing MR and VR will be evaluated by measuring patients' perceived pain and anxiety using scoring methods such as ESAS (Edmonton Symptom Assessment System) and HADS (Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale), along with GSR (Galvanic Skin Response) to assess physiological stress responses.

Key secondary outcomes

Comprehensive analysis of changes in blood miRNA due to regular MR and VR experiences will be conducted to explore new biomarkers for objectively measuring stress.
