Effect of Virtual Reality Relaxation on Alarm Fatigue and Professional Quality of Life Among Nurses in Intensive Care Units.
Article in Health science reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Introduction: Intensive care unit nurses are faced with a large number of equipment alarms daily, which can increase the likelihood of errors and threaten their professional quality of life. Today, the use of virtual reality to create relaxing experiences in stressful environments has received attention. This study aimed to determine the effect of virtual reality relaxation on alarm fatigue and the professional quality of life among ICU nurses. Methods: This is an intervention study with a pretest-posttest design with a control group. ICU nurses who met the inclusion criteria were selected conveniently and were randomly assigned to two intervention and control groups (30 people in each group). The intervention was implemented as three 20-min virtual reality relaxation sessions over a week. The data collection tools included the Alarm Fatigue Scale (AFS) and the Professional Quality of Life (ProQOL) questionnaire. The questionnaires were completed before and immediately after the intervention. Results: The results showed that the mean AFS score improved significantly after the intervention ( Conclusion: The significant improvement in AFS and ProQOL scores indicates that the use of new technologies, such as virtual reality can be considered as a complementary tool in promoting the mental and professional health of nurses in stressful environments.
