Overview

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

This pre-post mixed methods pilot study evaluates the feasibility and acceptability of an 8-week virtual reality mindfulness intervention delivered via a CAVE system for adolescents with mild-to-moderate anxiety symptoms in Hong Kong. The research includes 42 participants who completed assessments of psychological outcomes, physiological stress regulation via heart rate variability, and qualitative feedback on their experience. While self-reported distress and anxiety levels did not significantly change, the study reports improvements in physiological stress markers and positive participant perceptions regarding emotional regulation and focus.
