本报告回顾了利用沉浸式虚拟环境技术方法在医疗保健传播中进行实验研究的文献。本文还讨论了使用这些工具进行该领域研究的优势和挑战。使用Scopus数据库进行文献检索。人工检索了结果，以确定1995年以来进行的与报告目标有关的大量研究。该综述确定了源于两个独特项目的四项相关研究。一个项目侧重于临床医生的特征和行为对医疗保健沟通的影响，另一个项目侧重于患者的特征。这两个项目都说明了沉浸式虚拟环境所赋予的关键方法优势，包括同时保持高实验控制和真实感的能力，以新方式操纵变量的能力，以及独特的行为测量机会。尽管基于沉浸式虚拟环境的研究方法存在实施挑战，但鉴于该技术的独特功能，在许多情况下收益大于成本。因此，身临其境的虚拟环境可能被证明是对一系列可用工具的重要补充，这些工具可以促进我们对医疗保健沟通的理解。
This report reviews the literature for studies that employ immersive virtual environment technology methods to conduct experimental studies in health care communication. Advantages and challenges of using these tools for research in this area are also discussed. A literature search was conducted using the Scopus database. Results were hand searched to identify the body of studies, conducted since 1995, that are related to the report objective. The review identified four relevant studies that stem from two unique projects. One project focused on the impact of a clinician’s characteristics and behavior on health care communication, the other focused on the characteristics of the patient. Both projects illustrate key methodological advantages conferred by immersive virtual environments, including, ability to maintain simultaneously high experimental control and realism, ability to manipulate variables in new ways, and unique behavioral measurement opportunities. Though implementation challenges exist for immersive virtual environment-based research methods, given the technology’s unique capabilities, benefits can outweigh the costs in many instances. Immersive virtual environments may therefore prove an important addition to the array of tools available for advancing our understanding of communication in health care.
