Abstract

This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of virtual reality (VR) simulation as a patient preparation method for Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) examinations. A total of 138 participants were divided into VR and non-VR groups. The study found that anxiety levels were significantly different between the VR group before and during MRI exams (p<.001), but there was no significant difference in the non-VR group (p=.138). Noise, space, and strapping were moderately correlated with anxiety levels. The study suggests that VR could be an accessible pre-medical procedure option, improving patient experience, future treatment planning, and reducing costs associated with premature MRI exams.
