Overview

AI-generated summary, not a substitute for reading the source.

This meta-analysis evaluates the effectiveness of virtual reality-based mindfulness interventions for reducing depressive and anxiety symptoms across fifteen randomized controlled trials. The study examines potential moderators, including participant demographics, geographic region, immersion level, and intervention duration. Results indicate significant symptom reductions associated with these interventions, particularly among older adults and in Eastern regions, with shorter session durations showing greater benefits.
