摘　　要：This editorial examines the application of virtual reality(VR)training to mitigate restrictive practices(RPs)within psychiatric facilities.RPs include physical restraints,seclusion,and chemical restraints,used to ensure patient safety but with varying usage rates across regions.In recent years,there has been a growing focus on the adverse effects of RPs on both healthcare workers and patients,leading to calls for its reduction.Previous research has shown the efficiency of VR training in RP reduction.This editorial will analyze the limitations of VR training in prior research aimed at reducing RP,emphasizing that the essence of RPs is a medical safety issue,calling for careful differentiation of the causes of RPs,and avoiding the use of AR technology as a"new bottle"for"old wine"to improve the quality and reproducibility of future research in this field.
