Abstract
GONZALEZ TORRECILLAS, JL; MARIN, B and ALONSO, B. Application of virtual reality (Nesplora Aquarium) in the cognitive evaluation and control of temporary disability by common contingency in patients with minor psychiatric disorder. Rev Asoc Esp Espec Med Trab [online]. 2020, vol.29, n.3, pp.223-235. Epub Jan 11, 2021. ISSN 3020-1160.
Introduction:
Minor Psychiatric Disorders cause temporary, long-term disabilities. A high percentage of them refer to subjective complaints of cognitive deficits that are difficult to evaluate
Objectives:
To demonstrate that patients with subjective complaints of cognitive deficits show longer processes of temporary disability. To demonstrate that such complaints do not always correspond to real deficits, using specific Virtual Reality tests (Nesplora Aquarium), allowing to shorten the duration in good conditions for the worker
Materials and Methods:
SUBJECTS: 100 patients assessed in psychiatry-MAZ for Minor Psychiatric Disorder. METHOD: Structured Psychiatric Interview + Virtual Reality test
Results:
1) 62% of patients with unconfirmed subjective cognitive complaints with Virtual Reality. 2) Significantly longer duration of the process in low Nesplora results. 3) Highly significant reduction in process duration after Nesplora.
Conclusions:
We confirm the importance of using Virtual Reality tests in assessing cognitive functions of patients with Minor Psychiatric Disorder
Keywords : Minor Psychiatric Disorder; Virtual Reality; Cognitive Function; Temporary Disability Duration.
