Virtual reality (VR) has demonstrated promising results in terms of feasibility, acceptability, and effectiveness across various health conditions. VR can provide calming environments to enhance patients’ well-being in psychiatric inpatient care. However, little research has been done on patients’ acceptance of VR technology in psychiatric care in the real-world setting.
