About this study
Official title: Protocol for Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial: Virtual Reality-Guided Mindfulness Intervention on Psychosocial Well-Being of End-Stage Kidney Disease Caregivers
This pilot randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the efficacy and feasibility of a virtual reality (VR)-guided mindfulness intervention for caregivers of patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). Thirty ESKD caregivers will be randomly assigned to either a 6-week VR-guided mindfulness intervention or a sham VR control group. The study will assess changes in caregiver burden, stress, anxiety, depression, quality of life, and mindfulness using validated questionnaires. Feasibility outcomes, including recruitment, retention, adherence, and participant experiences, will also be evaluated. The findings will inform the design of a future larger-scale trial and may lead to the development of an accessible, technology-based support option for ESKD caregivers.
Read the detailed description
Background:
Caregivers of patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) face significant challenges that contribute to caregiver burden, negatively impacting their psychosocial well-being. Despite the well-documented challenges, support options for this population remain limited. Virtual reality (VR)-guided mindfulness interventions have shown promise in reducing stress, anxiety, and depression in various populations. This pilot study aims to evaluate the efficacy and feasibility of a VR-guided mindfulness intervention specifically designed for ESKD caregivers.
Objectives:
Assess the efficacy of a VR-guided mindfulness intervention compared to a sham VR control on caregiver burden and related psychosocial outcomes in ESKD caregivers.
Evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of the VR-guided mindfulness intervention for ESKD caregivers.
Explore participants' subjective experiences with the intervention and sham control through qualitative interviews.
Estimate effect sizes and variability to inform sample size calculations for a future definitive trial.
Methods:
This single-center, single-blind, parallel-group pilot randomized controlled trial will recruit 30 ESKD caregivers from Alexandra Hospital, Singapore. Participants will be randomly allocated to either the VR-guided mindfulness intervention group or the sham VR control group using a 1:1 allocation ratio.
Intervention:
The intervention group will receive a 6-week home-based VR-guided mindfulness program using an Oculus Quest 3 (or equivalent) headset. Participants will be instructed to practice 10-15 minutes of VR-guided mindfulness daily. The program will include guided meditation practices such as body scans, breath awareness, and loving-kindness meditation, delivered in immersive virtual environments designed to promote relaxation and focus.
Control:
The sham VR control group will receive a 6-week home-based intervention viewing relaxing nature videos without mindfulness content, matched for duration and VR experience.
Outcomes:
Primary outcomes include caregiver burden (Zarit Burden Interview), stress, anxiety, depression (Depression Anxiety Stress Scale-21), quality of life (Kidney Disease Quality of Life Short Form), and mindfulness (Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire). These will be assessed at baseline, post-intervention (6 weeks), and follow-up (12 weeks).
Feasibility outcomes include accrual rate, retention rate, adherence rate, questionnaire completion rate, and side effect rate. Acceptability will be assessed through participant satisfaction questionnaires and semi-structured interviews with a subset of participants.
Data Analysis:
Quantitative data analysis will focus on estimating effect sizes for between-group differences in change scores for each outcome measure. Feasibility outcomes will be reported descriptively. Qualitative data from interviews will be analyzed using thematic analysis.
Potential Impact:
If the intervention demonstrates promising results, it could lead to the development of a low-cost, accessible, and scalable approach to reducing caregiver burden and improving psychosocial well-being among ESKD caregivers. The findings will inform the design and conduct of a future definitive RCT, which could have important implications for clinical practice and healthcare policy in supporting ESKD caregivers.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
VR-guided mindfulnessBehavioural
Also called Virtual reality mindfulness, VR mindfulness
The VR-guided mindfulness intervention is a 6-week home-based program delivered through an Oculus Quest 3 (or equivalent) headset. Participants practice 10-15 minutes of guided mindfulness exercises daily in immersive virtual environments. The program includes various mindfulness techniques such as body scans, breath awareness, and loving-kindness meditation, designed to reduce stress and improve well-being.
Sham VROther
Also called Control VR, Placebo VR
The sham VR intervention is a 6-week home-based program that involves viewing relaxing nature videos without any mindfulness content. Participants use the same VR headset as the experimental group and engage with the sham content for 10-15 minutes daily, matching the duration of the experimental intervention. This sham intervention controls for the effects of using VR technology and engaging in a relaxing activity.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| VR-guided mindfulness intervention | Experimental | Participants will receive a 6-week home-based VR-guided mindfulness intervention using the Oculus Quest 3 (or equivalent) headset and a mindfulness application. They will be instructed to practice 10-15 minutes of VR-guided mindfulness daily. The intervention will consist of guided meditation practices, such as body scans, breath awareness, and loving-kindness meditation, delivered in immersive virtual environments designed to promote relaxation and focus. Receives: Behavioral: VR-guided mindfulness |
| Sham VR control | Sham comparator | Participants will receive a 6-week home-based sham VR intervention. They will view relaxing nature videos without mindfulness content for 10-15 minutes daily, matched for duration and VR experience with the experimental group. The sham VR control condition will use the same VR headset as the intervention group but will not include any guided mindfulness practices or instructions. Receives: Other: Sham VR |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Change in Caregiver Burden
Change in caregiver burden as measured by the Zarit Burden Interview (ZBI). The ZBI is a validated 22-item questionnaire that assesses the level of burden experienced by caregivers. Scores range from 0 to 88, with higher scores indicating greater caregiver burden.
Measured: Baseline to 6 weeks (post-intervention)
Secondary outcomes (9)
Change in Stress, anxiety, and depression
Change in stress, anxiety, and depression levels as measured by the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale-21 (DASS-21). The DASS-21 is a 21-item self-report questionnaire that measures the negative emotional states of depression, anxiety, and stress. Each subscale (Stress, Anxiety, Depression) consists of 7 items, scored from 0 (did not apply to me at all) to 3 (applied to me very much or most of the time).
Measure: Total score on the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale-21 (DASS-21) Unit of Measure: Points on a scale from 0 to 63 Direction: Lower scores indicate better outcome
Measured: Baseline to 6 weeks (post-intervention) and 12 weeks (follow-up)
Change in Quality of Life
Change in quality of life as measured by the Kidney Disease Quality of Life Short Form (KDQOL-SF). The KDQOL-SF is a kidney disease-specific measure of health-related quality of life that includes the SF-36 as generic core plus items about kidney disease.
Measure: Overall score on the Kidney Disease Quality of Life Short Form (KDQOL-SF) Unit of Measure: Points on a scale from 0 to 100 Direction: Higher scores indicate better outcome
Measured: Baseline to 6 weeks (post-intervention) and 12 weeks (follow-up)
Change in Mindfulness
Change in mindfulness as measured by the Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire (FFMQ). The FFMQ is a 39-item questionnaire that assesses five facets of mindfulness: observing, describing, acting with awareness, non-judging of inner experience, and non-reactivity to inner experience.
Measure: Total score on the Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire (FFMQ) Unit of Measure: Points on a scale from 39 to 195 Direction: Higher scores indicate better outcome (greater mindfulness)
Measured: Baseline to 6 weeks (post-intervention) and 12 weeks (follow-up)
