Abstract Background Patients suffering from psychiatric disorders can manifest as symptoms of anxiety, depression and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) after intensive care unit (ICU) stay has received considerable attention worldwide. The combination restorative environments virtual reality (VR) might be a very effective tool to briefly escape the ICU for early intervention. Based on Stress Recovery Theory (SRT) Attention (ART), this study protocol aims evaluate effect “virtual reality-based environment” provided by nurses. Methods This is an assessor-blinded randomized controlled trial. A total 72 critically ill awake patients will enrolled participants per patient in 1:1 ratio either intervention or control group. group treated usual. Participants allocated receive 360-degree immersive VR environment played head-mounted display with noise-cancelling headphones. primary outcome measures include Hospital Anxiety Depression Scale (HADS), Impact Event Revised (IES-R), Short Form-36 (SF-36). Secondary outcomes are Simulator Sickness Questionnaire (SSQ) Patient Satisfaction Level. Data collected at 5-time points: baseline (T0), discharge (T1), 1 month (T2), 3 months (T3) 6 (T4) discharge. Discussion Psychiatric common setting, but validated prevention treatment strategies lacking. results provide insight into whether modality that used improve psychological well-being quality life satisfaction.

Results collected from outside the discipline coalesce into a knowledge system for architecture. Increasingly, this information does not come usual historical, philosophical and social sources, but instead AI, biology, mathematics neuroscience. This body of discovered tested remains dominant architectural culture. Several distinct methods data gathering necessary adaptive design are reviewed here. Cumulative findings — patterns, eye tracking visual attention scans, compression via mathematical symmetries, physiological indicators, software trained on artificial intelligence, AI language models user surveys reinforce each other. They reveal that traditional concepts generate significantly healthier environment than what practice offers. The analogy an “expert system” is suggested as means incorporating results current practice. Curricular changes needed to cover material in schools, especially understanding knowledge. Nevertheless, any change threatens architecture-industrial complex, proposal faces strong resistance both academia profession.
