The Effect of Virtual Reality Glasses Watched With Music on Pain Perceived by Women During Episiotomy Repair, Vital Signs and Postpartum Comfort

Workgroup implementation steps Informed Voluntary Consent Form and Pregnancy Introductory Form (the first 8 questions of the pregnant introductory information - labor and episiotomy follow-up form) will be filled in by the researcher, to the pregnant women who were randomized daily to the study and control group by going to the clinic during the research. During the repair of mediolateral episiotomy, the pregnant women included in the study group will be shown the video accompanying the acemaşîrân makam with sterile virtual reality glasses with a view of nature. In the literature, it is stated that the video watched with the acemaşîrân makam and virtual reality glasses reduces pain [6, 7, 21] After the internet connection is established with a smart phone, the video to be clicked on youtube.com will be clicked, Relaxation Project 1 (SBS VR) video and Acemaşiran Ayini Şerifi Ney-Bendir will be selected for the sound, and video and music will be played with virtual reality glasses by pressing the play button[22, 23] Sound and image will be adjusted as the pregnant woman wants. During the study, all pregnant women included in the study will be given the same care and follow-up, apart from watching the video. The video containing nature scenes prepared by the researcher and the acemaşîrân maqam will be watched from the moment the episiotomy is opened to the time when the episiotomy is closed. Numerical pain assessment scale will be applied before, during (during hymen suturing) and 1 hour after the end of mediolateral episiotomy repair. Postpartum comfort scale 4-24th postpartum. The vital signs of the pregnant women in the study group will be recorded by the researcher before and during episiotomy repair (during hymen suturing) and 1 hour after the end of mediolateral episiotomy repair. In episiotomy repair, the time from the first suture to the last column will be recorded. The pregnant woman will be asked how long she perceives the duration of episiotomy.

Control group application steps Unlike the experimental group, only video and music applications will not be applied to the pregnant women included in the control group. Other applications will be made in the same way.
