Nonimmersive virtual reality (NIVR), a computer-generated virtual reality experience wherein users are not fully immersed, has been increasingly used in pediatric healthcare. This study aimed to identify the effects of NIVR-based interventions for children. A mixed methods systematic review of relevant studies published until December 2023 was conducted. We included samples of healthy children and those with chronic conditions or disabilities, findings related to self-management or social skills, and the NIVR interventions applied. A convergent-integrated design was used for the synthesis. This review included 22 studies, of which 15 examined children having autism spectrum disorders. Utilizing NIVR was found to be effective in enhancing social skills. Participating in virtual communities with peers having similar conditions was determined to facilitate social support and identity exploration. Healthcare interventions using NIVR need to be explored further to improve self-management and social skills in children with various conditions.

使用非沉浸式虚拟现实对儿童进行医疗干预：混合方法系统评价

非沉浸式虚拟现实 (NIVR) 是一种计算机生成的虚拟现实体验，其中用户不完全沉浸其中，已越来越多地用于儿科医疗保健。本研究旨在确定基于 NIVR 的干预措施对儿童的影响。对 2023 年 12 月之前发表的相关研究进行了混合方法系统评价。我们纳入了健康儿童和患有慢性病或残疾的儿童样本、与自我管理或社交技能相关的发现以及所应用的 NIVR 干预措施。采用收敛集成设计进行合成。该综述包括 22 项研究，其中 15 项检查了患有自闭症谱系障碍的儿童。研究发现，使用 NIVR 可有效增强社交技能。确定与具有相似条件的同龄人一起参与虚拟社区是为了促进社会支持和身份探索。需要进一步探索使用 NIVR 的医疗干预措施，以提高患有各种疾病的儿童的自我管理和社交技能。
