Resumo
Objetivo: Descrever os efeitos da aplicação da realidade virtual (RV) como intervenção não farmacológica no manejo da dor e da ansiedade em crianças e adolescentes submetidos a tratamentos oncológicos e avaliar seu impacto no bem-estar e na experiência hospitalar. Métodos: Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa da literatura, com artigos publicados nos últimos 5 anos nos idiomas inglês, português e francês, com acesso completo, gratuito, online. Utilizou-se como questão norteadora: Quais os efeitos da realidade virtual na dor, ansiedade e aspectos físico-psicológicos em pacientes oncológicos pediátricos? A pesquisa bibliográfica ocorreu em março e abril de 2025, sendo realizada buscas nas bases de dados: National Library of Medicine (PubMed), Web of Science e SCOPUS (Elsevier), por meio dos Descritores em Ciências da Saúde (DeCS): Criança, Adolescente, Jovem Adulto, Pediatria, Realidade Virtual, Terapia de Exposição à Realidade Virtual, Câncer, Oncologia Médica, Neoplasia, Quimioterapia, Controle da dor, Dor, Ansiedade, Gerenciamento do Atendimento ao Paciente, Revisão, realizando combinações com operador booleano “AND”, “OR” e “NOT”. Resultados: Identificou-se 193 estudos, dentre os quais 21 foram selecionados para análise. Considerações finais: A RV é uma intervenção eficaz, destacando-se em relação a métodos tradicionais de distração, especialmente por reduzir aspectos físico-psicológicos de pacientes pediátricos durante o tratamento oncológico.
