Project description
Building nurse resilience with XR technology
The healthcare system is facing an unprecedented crisis, placing immense pressure on nursing staff and exacerbating their mental health challenges. Despite recognising the importance of nurses’ mental well-being, creating effective solutions remains difficult. In this context, the EU-funded XR2ESILIENCE project aims to harness extended reality (XR) to enhance resilience among nurses. By integrating immersive XR applications, the project seeks to provide tailored resilience training that can adapt to individual needs. Through a cohort study and analysis of existing data, XR2ESILIENCE will identify key resilience factors and assess the effectiveness of XR training. The project will also evaluate barriers to acceptance and provide recommendations for creating supportive nursing environments.
Objective
The health care system is in crisis and although the importance of nurses' mental health is widely recognized, achieving this goal is highly challenging. Promoting resilience in times of crisis appears to be a promising goal for public mental health. Innovative digital technologies to enhance resilience might contribute to a solution. Extended reality (XR) applications are highly immersive, interactive, and attractive to use. The proposed project aims to leverage the potential of XR to promote resilience in nursing staff. As resilience has a multitude of facets a prospective cohort study together with new analysis of existing large datasets will inform about those resilience factors that are the most promising target for interventions in nurses. Likewise, barriers and facilitators of acceptance of resilience training in general and XR-supported interventions in particular will be extensively considered and researched within this project. As acceptance through participation is a key success factor, a XR-supported training to foster resilience will be developed in close cooperation with nurses and other stakeholders. The proposed XR2ESILIENCE solution consists of a flexible selection of XR modules that can be customised to meet individual nurse needs. The efficacy of XR2ESILIENCE on stress coping and resilience will be investigated in a randomised controlled trial including a health economic evaluation. In addition, the project will go beyond the individual perspective and consider organisational and structural challenges. The cohort study will enable to identify working environments where nurses can grow and enfold their resilience. Based on the results, will develop a set of recommendations and checklists for employers and policymakers that support them in making nursing facilities resilience friendly places. XR2ESILIENCE outlines a strategy for building resilience and the role of XR in resilience training.
