Abstract

Background: Extended reality may offer a convenient and effective method of increasing well-being within the wider healthcare workforce and particularly for those working in the mental health sector who are subject to high levels of stress because of increased workload, high levels of staff turnover and limited resources.

Aims: This scoping review aims to identify and assimilate relevant literature pertaining to the use of extended reality to improve healthcare practitioners' well-being.

Method: Databases (MEDLINE, CINAHL, Cochrane and PubMed) and grey literature were searched for relevant articles using established methodology and reported as per the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) extension for scoping reviews.

Results: A total of 280 articles were yielded by the search strategy, with 13 relevant articles selected by two independent reviewers in a blinded process. Studies demonstrated a heterogenous pool of outcome measurement modalities, intervention modalities and duration and frequency of the interventions. Of all the studies, 85% note a positive impact on healthcare practitioner well-being but studies have limited comparability because of heterogeneity. Interventions were engaging but the practicality of implementing such technologies into a finance- and time-limited healthcare environment will be a challenge.

Conclusions: Whilst extended reality is a promising well-being intervention, there is a paucity of literature relating to its effect on mental health practitioners' well-being, and further studies in this area are required.

扩展现实和医疗保健从业者福祉：范围审查。

背景：扩展现实可以提供一种方便和有效的方法来增加更广泛的医疗保健工作人员的福祉，特别是对于那些在精神卫生部门工作的人，他们由于工作量增加、人员流动率高和资源有限而受到高度压力。目的：这一范围审查的目的是确定和吸收相关文献有关使用扩展现实，以提高医疗保健从业人员的福祉。方法：使用既定的方法检索数据库（MEDLINE， CINAHL， Cochrane和PubMed）和灰色文献中相关文章，并按照系统评价和元分析（PRISMA）扩展范围评价的首选报告项目进行报告。结果：通过搜索策略共获得280篇文章，其中13篇相关文章由两位独立审稿人采用盲法筛选。研究表明，结果测量方式、干预方式以及干预的持续时间和频率存在异质性。在所有的研究中，85%的研究注意到对医疗从业人员幸福感的积极影响，但由于异质性，研究的可比性有限。干预措施很有吸引力，但在资金和时间有限的医疗环境中实施这些技术的实用性将是一个挑战。结论：虽然扩展现实是一种很有希望的幸福干预，但关于其对心理健康从业者幸福的影响的文献很少，需要在这一领域进行进一步的研究。
