Clinical trials

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effects of an extended reality (XR)-enhanced occupational therapy leisure intervention on motivation, emotional engagement, and therapeutic participation among inpatients with chronic psychiatric conditions. The main questions it aims to answer are: Can the XR intervention improve leisure motivation, leisure-related attitudes, and emotional coping strategies in long-term hospitalized individuals with mental illness? Does the XR intervention promote improvements in psychological health, volition, and occupational performance? Researchers will compare an XR-based leisure therapy group to a usual care group engaged in standard hospital leisure activities such as art, music, or reading. Participants will take part in weekly 40-minute sessions for 6 weeks. The XR group will use a custom-designed mobile VR program featuring immersive 360° leisure scenarios aligned with participants' interests and functional goals. Data collection includes standardized assessments (e.g., Interest Checklist, Volitional Questionnaire, COPM, PANSS) and semi-structured interviews to explore changes in motivation, coping, and perceived benefits.
