47 participates were randomized and allocated to this treatment group. During the study, seven individuals were lost, and a total of 40 nurses participated in the final statistics. Of the seven individuals lost, two withdrew from the intervention due to personal reasons, while the remaining five terminated the intervention due to COVID-19 infection. The therapeutic intervention consisted of an eight-week group intervention that included the same amount of contact and meditations as MBT.
Received the same mindfulness therapy training audio as the other set, but did not watch the 3D scene on the VR device. At the end of the study, we will compensate them and let them use VR for relaxation training according to their wishes.
