초록/요약
Purpose: Awareness of environmental control is considered a major influence on the performance of asthma self-management behaviors that are involved in maintaining effective control of asthma. The aim of this study was to investigate whether immersive virtual reality (VR) education is effective in environmental control education for asthmatic children. Methods: Thirty asthmatic children aged 9 to 13 years with aeroallergen sensitization were enrolled. Environmental control education for asthmatic subjects were performed using either immersive VR (VR group) or conventional leaflets provided by asthma specialists (control group). Five questionnaires, such as awareness of environmental control, memory, assessment of intent to act, satisfaction test, and asthma control test (ACT) questionnaires were used for estimating the effects of education. Results: Awareness of environmental control, memory, and intent to act scores were significantly increased after education in both groups and the scores were maintained high until 4 weeks after education. In both group, ACT scores were maintained high scores before and 4 weeks after education. Satisfaction scores were very high in the VR group. Conclusion: The increased scores in awareness of environmental control and intent to act indicate that the environmental control education using VR is worthy of attention as an effective educational tool for asthma management. Application of further developed techniques, including active environmental intervention by participants in VR, could be applied to effective asthma management.
