Innovative technologies such as virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and therapeutic video games provide immersive environments that may improve treatment outcomes. This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated the efficacy of these approaches and explored their potential advantages over traditional methods. A comprehensive search of PubMed, PsycINFO, CINAHL, Web of Science, and Cochrane identified relevant studies. Two reviewers independently screened articles, extracted data, and assessed quality using the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool (MMAT). A random-effects model was used to calculate pooled effect sizes (Hedges' g), and heterogeneity was evaluated with the <i>Q</i> test and <i>I</i><sup>2</sup> statistic. Publication bias was examined with funnel plots, Egger's, and Begg's tests. Analyses were performed in Stata version 17.0. From 480 records, 21 studies were included in the review and 12 in the meta-analysis. VR-based treatments yielded a pooled effect size of -0.35 (95% CI [-0.57, -0.13]), indicating a small-to-moderate reduction in PTSD symptoms. The effect was statistically significant (<i>z</i> = -3.13, <i>P</i> < .01), with moderate heterogeneity (<i>I</i><sup>2</sup> = 46.28%, <i>P</i> = .03). Funnel plots and statistical tests suggested minimal publication bias. Meta-regression showed no moderating effect of gender. Subgroup analyses indicated significant benefits in male-only samples, participants aged 20 to 30 and over 40, and studies with follow-up periods ≤7 months. Larger effects were observed in studies with 15 to 30 participants. VR, AR, and video game interventions significantly reduce PTSD symptoms and may enhance accessibility and engagement compared to traditional treatments. These findings support the integration of immersive technologies into therapeutic practice to improve outcomes for individuals with PTSD.</p>","PeriodicalId":54976,"journal":{"name":"Inquiry-The Journal of Health Care Organization Provision and Financing","volume":"63 ","pages":"469580251413101"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12852585/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146094807","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Some studies have examined child nutrition and adolescent health in rural contexts; however, limited attention has been paid to variation across socio-demographic characteristics in urban and peri-urban contexts. This study aims to assess the distribution and variation in adolescent girls' nutritional status across selected socio-demographic factors, including religion, marital status, household income, and maternal education, in Sylhet, Bangladesh.MethodsA cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted in Sylhet City Corporation (SCC) urban areas and in some closely connected union parishads of SCC as peri-urban settings. The study population included mothers of adolescent girls aged 10-19 years. A multi-stage cluster sampling technique selected 400 respondents, and data were collected using a structured questionnaire. Descriptive statistical tools are used for analyzing data. Nutritional status was assessed using Body Mass Index (BMI), applying standard WHO criteria to classify underweight, normal weight, and overweight.ResultsThis research demonstrates the variation in adolescent girls' nutritional status across women's socio-demographic features and residential settings. This study found that underweight was more common among Hindu adolescent girls in urban areas and those from joint families in peri-urban settings. In contrast, being overweight is found more frequently in peri-urban areas, particularly among Muslim girls and those from higher-income households. Specifically, maternal education and household income showed the strongest variation, because daughters of educated mothers were more likely to have a normal BMI. In contrast, underweight was higher among daughters of mothers with no formal education. Differences between urban and peri-urban contexts further indicate the influence of the living environment.ConclusionMaternal education, household income, and place of residence emerged as key factors in this research, contributing differently to adolescent girls in urban-peri-urban settings.
