Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to verify the effect of virtual reality (VR) intervention on stress reduction for workers. After inducing stress by the Socially Evaluated Cold Pressure Test (SECPT), Investigators should explore recovery of stress response in VR intervention and control condition. Healthy individuals were randomly assigned to one of VR intervention group and control group.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• change in level of salivary cortisol

  Saliva cortisol will be collected in sampling tubes with cotton swabs (Salivette®; Sarstedt, Leicester, UK) after Baseline, stress manipulation, intervention, and 30 minutes after stress provoking, for a total of four samples. The saliva cortisol is assessed with a competitive enzyme immunoassy (EIA) designed for quantitative in vitro measurement of cortisol in saliva (Spectria Cortisol Coated Tube RIA, Orion Diagnostica, Espoo, Finland) following the manufacturer's protocol.

  baseline, at the end of stress manipulation (3 minutes after the initiation of stress manipulation), immediately after intervention (5 minutes of intervention), 30 minutes after the end of stress manipulation

• change in subjectie stress ratings

  Participants will be rated on the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) how stressful they are at baseline, after stress manipulation, after recovery intervention, 30 minutes after stress manipulation.
