Kubler Ross's Stages of Dying

417
Elisabeth Kübler-Ross significantly advanced psychology's understanding of the process of dying with her influential book, On Death and Dying (1969). She focused on studying terminally ill individuals and outlined five stages commonly experienced when coping with death: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance.
In denial, individuals reject the reality of their condition, often thinking, "This isn't true; I feel fine," as a way to protect themselves from...

Area of Science:

  • Palliative Care Medicine
  • Digital Health
  • Therapeutic Technologies

Background:

  • Virtual reality (VR) presents novel therapeutic avenues for managing symptoms in advanced disease.
  • Limited research exists on VR therapy's application within palliative care settings.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the feasibility and acceptability of VR therapy in palliative care patients.
  • To explore patient experiences and perceived effects of VR intervention.

Main Methods:

  • A case series involving six palliative care patients undergoing a single VR therapy session (20-60 minutes).
  • Utilized semi-structured surveys, the Edmonton Symptom Assessment System (ESAS), and the Distress Thermometer (DT) pre- and post-intervention.

Main Results:

  • VR therapy was well-accepted, with five of six patients reporting positive experiences.
  • Significant reduction in total ESAS scores (27.2 to 18.8) and moderate reduction in distress (4.4 to 3.8) observed.
  • Patients reported temporary detachment and a break from worries; some experienced increased fatigue.

Conclusions:

  • VR therapy is demonstrated as acceptable, feasible, and safe for palliative care patients.
  • Preliminary findings suggest VR therapy is a viable treatment option, warranting further investigation.
  • Clinical trials are necessary to confirm therapeutic effects and optimize VR systems for palliative care.
