Virtual Reality Application on Pain Intensity and Anxiety Level in Endoscopy Patients

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Anxiety
• Interventions: Other: Virtual Reality Based Relaxation Program

• Registration Number: NCT05585749
• Lead Sponsor: Ataturk University

Brief Summary

With the virtual reality application in patients with bronchoscopy, it is aimed to reduce the fear, stress and tension arising from the possibility of the development of pain and complications in the patients. The research will be carried out in the form of pretest-posttest application with 30 experimental and 30 control groups. The researcher aims to minimize the fear and stress in the patient by applying the virtual reality application to the patient in the experimental group 10 minutes before the procedure and 5-10 minutes during the procedure.

Detailed Description

This study includes the examination of the effect of applying virtual reality interventions, which are used for the treatment of anxiety problems, to patients who will undergo bronchoscopy. For this purpose, first of all, a relaxation intervention will be designed in a virtual reality environment. The virtual reality environment will be organized on the basis of relaxation exercise. In this direction, first of all, an image will be created by taking 3D modeling service and the text of the relaxation exercise prepared in the presence of a professional sound artist will be transferred to the image with sound.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Physiological Symptoms of Anxiety Follow-up Form	1 hours later	This form was created by the researcher to record blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate and peripheral oxygen saturation value.
Visual Analog Scale	1 hours later	Visual Analog Scale is used to convert some values that cannot be measured numerically into digital. Two end definitions of the parameter to be evaluated are written at the two ends of a 100 mm line and the patient is asked to indicate where on this line their situation is appropriate by drawing a line or by placing a dot or pointing.0 points means no pain, 100 points means a lot of pain
Anxiety Assessment Scale	1 hours later	Patients will be asked to show their anxiety levels before and after the procedure on a 10 cm long horizontal line. Line has 0 at the beginning and 10 at the end. 10 means very extreme anxiety and 0 means no anxiety.
