Detailed Summary

VR allows individuals to experience realistic, everyday social situations in a safe and controlled environment. This study aims to examine the effects of a cinematic VR-based psychosocial intervention on individuals with schizophrenia who experience reduced psychosocial functioning and social isolation. In this study, a Cinematic Virtual Reality Treatment Program (cVR-PTP) consisting of 12 weekly sessions was developed. Each session focuses on real-life social situations designed to support social interaction and daily functioning. The intervention aims to contribute to improvements in psychosocial functioning, social engagement, and overall functioning in individuals with schizophrenia.
