Time frame: From completion of the virtual reality intervention to 2 months
Four items, Scale score is average across individual items, Minimum score: 1, Maximum score: 5. higher scores indicate better acceptability
-
Appropriateness of the Intervention Measure
Time frame: From completion of the virtual reality intervention to 2 months
Four items, Scale score is average across individual items, Minimum score: 1, Maximum score: 5. higher scores indicate better appropriateness
-
Feasibility of the Intervention Measure
Time frame: From completion of the virtual reality intervention to 2 months
Four items, Scale score is average across individual items, Minimum score: 1, Maximum score: 5. higher scores indicate better feasibility
Secondary outcomes
-
De Novo Survey Item for Assessing Social Cognitive Theory Construct Behavioral Capability
Time frame: From completion of the virtual reality intervention to 2 months
One item, Scale score of individual items, Minimum score: 1, Maximum score: 5. higher score indicates more behavioral capability
-
