Abstract
The current study analyzed the effect of virtual reality-based intervention on depression and quality of life in stroke patients. Databases (National Assembly Library, DBpia, RISS, KISS) were searched to extract studies for meta analysis by using the PICOS framework. From this procedure, two dissertations and five journal articles were selected for the literature on the effect on depression, and four dissertations and three journal articles were selected for the literature on the effect on quality of life. The R program(ver.4.0.5) meta analysis package was used to calculate the effect sizes for depression and quality of life. Results using random-effects model indicated that the effect size of depression was -0.82 (95% CI=-1.29, -0.35), which was a large effect size, and also the effect size of quality of life was 1.12 (95% CI=0.56, 1.67), showing a large effect size. The current study concluded that virtual reality-based intervention has positive effect on depression and quality of life in stroke patients.
