简要总结
Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy is an invasive procedure used to diagnose and treat pathologies in the gastrointestinal mucosa. Since it is an invasive procedure, it can cause anxiety in patients before and pain during the procedure. Virtual reality glasses are an effective method used to reduce the pain and anxiety levels of patients during painful procedures. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of virtual reality glasses on pain, anxiety, and comfort in patients undergoing upper gastrointestinal endoscopy without sedation.
详细描述
This single-center randomized controlled parallel group study was conducted with 60 patients who underwent upper gastrointestinal endoscopy at the Endoscopy Unit of a training and research hospital in Istanbul. Patients in the virtual reality glasses group (n=30) watched videos of their preferred relaxing nature settings or videos without any violent content during the procedure. Patients in the control group (n=30) received no intervention. Data were collected using the Patient Information Form, Visual Analog Scale (for pain and comfort) and State Anxiety Inventory. Pain, comfort and anxiety levels of patients were assessed five minutes before and five minutes after the procedure.

研究组 & 干预措施
Intervention Group
During the procedure, patients in the intervention group watched videos of their choice, either in a relaxing natural setting or without any violent content, using virtual reality glasses.
干预措施: Virtual Reality Glasses (Device)
Control Group
No intervention was applied to the patients in the control group.
结局指标
主要结局
Change on pain intensity as measured by Visual Analog Scale
时间窗: five minutes before endoscopy and five minutes after endoscopy
The average score change on pain intensity as measured by Visual Analog Scale. This scale is an unidimensional measure commonly used to measure pain intensity. The scale is a measuring tool with length of 0-10 cm. High scores on the scale indicate that pain intensity is high.
次要结局
- Change on anxiety level as measured by State-Trait Anxiety Inventory(five minutes before endoscopy and five minutes after endoscopy)
