Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate how the virtual reality stimulation of conscious movement affects stress after inducing stress with fear stimulation through virtual reality for university students. The control group (n=26) was to applied visual and auditory of virtual reality, and the experimental group (n=29) was to applied visual, auditory and conscious movement together. As a result, in brain waves, it was confirmed that the experimental group induced relaxation better than the control group, and the stress response was more reduced to be more effective in regressing to baseline value, in heart rate variation, it was confirmed that the experimental group was more concentrated and more flow in virtual reality. Therefore, virtual reality stimulation applying conscious movement is considered to be a comfortable intervention method that can be applied to various stresses.

본 연구는 대학생을 대상으로 가상현실을 통한 공포 자극으로 스트레스를 유발 후 의식적 움직임의 가상현실 자극이 스트레스에 어떠한 영향을 주는지 알아보고자 하였다. 대조군(n=26)은 가상현실의 시각과 청각만을 적용한 군, 실험군(n=29)은 시각과 청각 그리고 의식적 움직임을 함께 적용한 군으로 하였다. 그 결과, 뇌파에서는 대조군 보다 실험군은 이완을 더 잘 유발하였으며, 스트레스 반응도 더 감소시켜 각 기준 값으로 회귀하는데 더 효과적이었으며, 심박변이도에서는 실험군은 집중이 더 유발되어 가상현실에 더욱 몰입한 것으로 확인되었다. 그러므로, 의식적 움직임을 적용한 가상현실 자극은 다양한 스트레스에 적용할 수 있는 편한 중재 방법으로 생각된다.
