Virtual Reality Experience during Labour (VIREL); a qualitative study.

Authors

Musters A, Vandevenne AS, Franx A, Wassen MMLH

Abstract

There is increasing evidence that virtual reality (VR) is effective in the reduction of labour pain. The implementation of alternative methods like VR to reduce labour pain can contribute to reduce patient request for pharmacological pain management methods and associated side effects. The aim of this study is to examine women’s experiences, preferences and satisfaction in regard to the use of VR during labour.
