XR Resilience Training RCT for 232 Hospital Nurses
Summary
A new ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry (NCT07544498) describes a pragmatic randomized controlled trial evaluating an extended reality (XR) based resilience training program for approximately 232 hospital nurses across several European countries. The trial compares eight immersive XR training sessions delivered via head-mounted display over ten weeks against a waitlist control, measuring perceived stress as the primary outcome.
“Strengthening resilience and coping capacities is therefore an important preventive approach to support nurses' well-being and sustain quality of care.”

What changed
A new ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry has been published for NCT07544498, a pragmatic randomized controlled trial investigating extended reality (XR) based resilience training for hospital nurses. The study will enroll approximately 232 participants randomized to either an eight-session immersive XR intervention delivered via head-mounted display over ten weeks or a waitlist control. The primary outcome is perceived stress assessed via the Perceived Stress Scale, with secondary outcomes including resilience, occupational self-efficacy, quality of life, psychological distress, burnout symptoms, coping strategies, and work-related rumination.
Healthcare organizations and research institutions in European countries considering digital mental health interventions for frontline workers may find this trial's design and outcomes informative for future program planning. The trial does not create compliance obligations and is not a regulatory action.

PIONEERING XR TECHNOLOGY FOR THE PROMOTION OF RESILIENCE AND MENTAL HEALTH OF THE HEALTHCARE WORKFORCE
N/A NCT07544498 Kind: NA Apr 22, 2026
Abstract
This study investigates the effectiveness of an extended reality (XR) based resilience training program designed to support the mental health and well-being of nurses working in hospital settings. Nurses are exposed to high emotional, cognitive, and organizational demands and show elevated levels of work-related stress and stress-associated mental health problems. Strengthening resilience and coping capacities is therefore an important preventive approach to support nurses' well-being and sustain quality of care.
The study is conducted as a pragmatic randomized controlled trial with a waitlist control group and includes approximately 232 nurses from hospitals in several European countries. Participants are randomly assigned either to an XR-based resilience training group or to a waitlist control group that continues with care as usual during the waiting period. The XR-based intervention consists of eight immersive training sessions delivered over approximately ten weeks using a head-mounted display. The training focuses on behavioral, cognitive, and emotional coping strategies and aims to enhance key resilience factors such as problem-solving, cognitive reappraisal, emotion regulation, and positive self-care.
The primary outcome is perceived stress, assessed using the Perceived Stress Scale. Secondary outcomes include resilience, occupational self-efficacy, quality of life, psychological distress, burnout symptoms, coping strategies, work-related rumination, and turnover...
