[Virtual reality and care for caregivers]

Abstract

After having used virtual reality with patients, the hospital of Valenciennes (59) made the bet that its use, associated with a hypnotic speech combining cardiac coherence, selected images and special filming techniques, would be likely to cause a significant reduction of stress and a release of emotions in health professionals. A use which would allow, during the same session, to re-energize them so that they can resume their activity.
