Effect of Nursing Interventions Using Roy Adaptation Model with Virtual Reality on Social Anxiety in Youth

The study used virtual environments and characters based on "The Amelia VR Platform" for mental health researchers developed by Psious software company as a supportive tool in nursing interventions for social anxiety. The virtual environments included scenarios such as presentating in a large conference hall, conducting a business/office meeting with an authority figure and colleagues, presenting to a small group in a seminar hall, and socializing with friends. These environments comprehensively evaluate individuals' issues in public speaking and can also be used within the scope of a separate program to test and improve skills such as verbal communication and academic presentation. The whole process is controlled by a counselor via a computer connected to the platform. The counselor can manipulate the content, duration, and intensity of the process in a controlled manner for the purpose of the application.
