A virtual reality education module may be useful in helping patients understand what they can expect to happen during their radiation treatments and help reduce stress relating to the radiation treatments.
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To determine if a virtual reality education module for prostate cancer patients is effective in increasing patient comprehension and decreasing patient anxiety related to radiation treatments. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. This pilot study could have implications for a broader patient base undergoing radiation therapy.
