Effect of Intraoperative Virtual Reality on Anxiety and Vital Findings in Patients Total Knee Replacement Surgery

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Virtual Reality; Total Knee Replacement Surgery

• Registration Number: NCT05668143
• Lead Sponsor: Bucak State Hospital

Brief Summary

Although total knee replacement surgery improves the quality of life of the patients, a significant reduction in knee pain and normalization of the knee joint, the awareness of the surrounding events is a major concern for the patients and negatively affects their vital signs, since most of the patients are awake during the surgery. When the literature is examined, there are no pharmacological methods to reduce anxiety.

When distraction techniques are used, patients' anxiety levels are significantly reduced, vital signs are normalized, patient satisfaction is increased and pain is relieved.

It has been emphasized that there is a successful method in reducing One of the distraction techniques is the application of virtual reality. This study will be carried out in a randomized controlled experimental design to determine the effect of virtual reality application during surgery on patients who will undergo total knee replacement surgery, on the anxiety level and vital signs of the patients.

Detailed Description

The aim of this study is to determine the effect of virtual reality application on patients' anxiety level and vital signs during surgery for patients who will undergo total knee replacement surgery.

It will consist of patients over the age of 18 who will have total knee replacement surgery, which will be carried out in the Operating Room Unit. Patients meeting the sample selection criteria were randomized into experimental and control groups.

will be divided into two groups. Virtual reality glasses will be applied to the experimental group. In the collection of data; "Patient Information Form", "State Anxiety Inventory Scale" and "Vital Signs Follow-up Form" will be used.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Saturation Value	15 minute	Just before the start of the operation and every 15 minutes after the operation, the patient's saturation value will be measured on the monitor and the saturation will be recorded in the follow-up form.
State Anxiety Scale	10 minute	State Anxiety Scale mean scores of the patients in the intervention and control groups will be compared before and after surgery. A minimum of 20 and a maximum of 80 points can be obtained from the scale. If the scale score approaches 80, it indicates high anxiety.
Respiratory Rate	15 minute	Just before the start of the operation and every 15 minutes after the operation, the patient's respiratory rate values will be measured on the monitor and the respiratory rate will be recorded in the follow-up form.
Blood Pressure (both systolic and diastolic blood pressure)	15 minute	Just before the start of the operation and every 15 minutes after the operation, the patient's blood pressure (both systolic and diastolic blood pressure) values will be measured on the monitor and the blood pressure (both systolic and diastolic blood pressure) will be recorded in the follow-up form.
Pulse	15 minute	Just before the start of the operation and every 15 minutes after the operation, the patient's pulse values will be measured on the monitor and the pulse will be recorded in the follow-up form.
