Summary
Projecte Benestar 2026 is a multicenter randomized controlled study evaluating a brief immersive educational program delivered through virtual reality for healthcare workers. The program is designed to support emotional well-being, self-care, mindfulness, and emotional regulation in professionals working in healthcare settings. Participants will be active healthcare or healthcare-support workers from participating centers. They will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. One group will receive the virtual reality program at the beginning of the study, while the other group will continue usual activity and receive the same program later, after a wait-list period. The main objective is to evaluate whether the program reduces emotional exhaustion, measured with the Maslach Burnout Inventory. Secondary objectives include evaluating changes in depersonalization, personal accomplishment, work engagement, usability, satisfaction, adherence, and tolerability of the virtual reality program.
