The Effect of Virtual Reality Application on Pain Due to Fistula Puncture in Hemodialysis Patients
- Conditions
- Chronic Kidney Diseases
- Interventions
- Other: virtual reality application
- Registration Number
- NCT05807906
- Lead Sponsor
- Hacettepe University
- Brief Summary
The aim of this study is to examine the effect of virtual reality application on fistula puncture-related pain (FPi-A) in hemodialysis patients.
Hypotheses of the Research:
H0-1: Virtual reality application has an effect on fistula puncture-related pain in HD patients.
H1-2: Virtual reality application has no effect on fistula puncture-related pain in HD patients.
In the study, virtual reality will be applied in the fistula puncture procedure in patients receiving hemodialysis treatment.
- Detailed Description
* Demographic/medical data will initially be recorded prior to fistula puncture.
* The patient will be prepared for the virtual reality application and fistula puncture and will be given a comfortable sitting position.
* Virtual reality glasses will be put on the patient 6 minutes before the fistula puncture and the application will be started.
* The patient will continue to monitor the virtual reality application during the fistula puncture procedure. It will be ensured that no communication with the patient is made until the application is finished.
* The application will be ended with the fixation of the needle on the fistula after the fistula puncture procedure.

Group Intervention Description Intervention Group virtual reality application virtual reality will be applied in the fistula puncture procedure in patients receiving hemodialysis treatment.
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Pain-VAS Scale Assessing change of pain scores baseline, after each application for three weeks. Between third and fifth weeks any intervention will not be implemented and pain scale score will measure fifth week. VAS Scale is scored from 1 to 10. As the score increases, the severity of pain increases.
