Methods 60 patients first underwent gastroscopy were randomly divided into observation group (n = 30) and control group (n = 30). The control group was given routine gastroscopy, the observation group was given VR technology intervention on the basis of routine requirements. SCL-90 psychological evaluation of the two groups were used to carry on the questionnaire survey before and after gastroscopy, psychological state of patients between the two groups was compared. Results Before intervention, there was no statistical significance of the score of SCL-90 between the two groups (P > 0.05). The average scores of somatization, anxiety and terror after gastroscopy were higher than before gastroscopy in the two groups (P < 0.05). After gastroscopy, the average scores of somatization, anxiety and terror of observation group were higher than that in the control group (P < 0.05), while the average scores of interpersonal relationship, obsessive symptom, depression, hostile, crankiness and mental illness showed no statistical significance between the two groups (P > 0.05).
