Résumé
Hypertension challenges arise in part from poor adherence due to inadequate patient education. VR offers immersive learning to improve hypertension knowledge. To compare VR education with traditional verbal education to improve hypertension knowledge. In this randomised trial, 182 patients with hypertension were assigned to receive either traditional physician-led education (n = 88) or VR education (n = 94) with equivalent content. The VR group experienced a 3D video using Oculus Quest 2 headsets. Knowledge was assessed post-intervention using a 29-item questionnaire. The primary outcome was the objective score. Subjective satisfaction and responder characteristics were secondary outcomes. Median objective scores were significantly higher for VR (14, IQR 3) versus traditional education (10, IQR 5), VR outperforms traditional education. Tailoring to groups such as older women can optimise learning.
