Objectives: This review aims to provide a framework for evaluating the utility of virtual reality (VR) as a distraction intervention to alleviate pain and distress during medical procedures. We first describe the theoretical bases underlying the VR analgesic and anxiolytic effects and define the main factors contributing to its efficacy, which largely emerged from studies on healthy volunteers.

Aim: To investigate the impact of smartphone distraction on the quality and safety of care provided by the nursing population during work. Background: About 80% of nurses use the smartphone in the workplace both for personal purposes and as a useful support to improve the quality of care. Distraction from smartphones during care is a phenomenon that should be known and managed within each health service. Methods: A systematic review of the literature was conducted using the PRISMA methodology.

Aims: Technology in a care setting can help for health professions and improve communication in the multidisciplinary
but smartphone use during the care process would cause distraction and medication errors. This study aimed to
develop and validate the Italian version of the Nurses’ Use of Personal Communication Devices Questionnaire (PCDs
Questionnaire) Methods: This study took place at the Sapienza University of Rome, Italy between July 2018 and
September 2018. A self-administered 22-item Nurses’ Use PCDs Questionnaire was designed and administrated to

The lack of active attentional control is sometimes referred as “absentmindedness,” and many studies have investigated this phenomenon as the expression of individual differences.
