Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The difference in stress-related biomarkers (factor VIII activity, vWF ristocetin co-factor activity, copeptin (AVP), prolactin, thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), cortisol and glucose) measured before and after relaxing and stress-inducing VR-content, in order to compare biomarker changes under the influence of different types of VR-content.  

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secundary outcomes consist of the comparison of the two correlations between relaxing and Vr content., the occurence of objective stress during VR content and the occurence of subjective stress during VR content.
