ALVAREZ CEDILLO, Jesús Antonio; ALVAREZ SANCHEZ, Teodoro and GONZALEZ VASQUEZ, Alexis. Perception of Schizophrenia and the Effect of Psychoeducation with Virtual Reality. RIDE. Rev. Iberoam. Investig. Desarro. Educ [online]. 2022, vol.12, n.24, e043. Epub July 25, 2022. ISSN 2007-7467. https://doi.org/10.23913/ride.v12i24.1190.
In this article, a qualitative research based on grounded theory was carried out and coding was applied using the free software Tagette. It is based on the fact that the use of virtual reality tools allows strengthening the treatment and analysis processes through psychoeducation. It seeks to reduce the time of therapy and teaching in relatives and acquaintances of patients with schizophrenia disorder. Several proposals for 3D environments, audios and images were made on stage to find the desired stimuli in the user. For this, alpha and beta tests were carried out with the white and gray box methodology. As a result, a technological development arises as a support tool for direct relatives of the patient, which shows the user the ailments that a person with schizophrenia can have in their daily life. In-depth interviews were conducted on 40 students, half of them without a history of the disease.
