    The Effects of Virtual Reality Play on Depression Rates in Hospitalized Adolescents Diagnosed with Cancer
    (2022-07) Faz, Michelle; Kumar, Divya; Port, Autumn
    This project examines the effects of virtual reality play on depression rates in hospitalized adolescents with cancer. The evidence shows that adolescents with cancer experience higher rates of depression than adolescents without cancer, and that the use of video game and virtual reality play in this population during hospitalization correlates with a significant decrease in depression rates, as well as a decrease in pain levels and fatigue.
