Recruiting

• Conditions: Pain; Anxiety
• Interventions: Other: virtual reality intervention

• Registration Number: NCT06079814
• Lead Sponsor: Cukurova University

Brief Summary

The aim of this research is to conduct a two-group randomized controlled intervention study to determine the effect of virtual reality applications on pain and anxiety during cystoscopy. The study population will consist of patients who have applied to the urology outpatient clinic of a University Hospital for cystoscopy. The study sample will be composed of patients who volunteer to participate in the study and meet the criteria during the planned dates of the research. Data will be collected using a 'Personal Information Form' created by the researcher through a literature review, the 'Visual Analog Scale' (VAS) for assessing pain, and the 'State Anxiety Inventory' (SAI) for assessing anxiety.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
experiment group	virtual reality intervention	Patients will wear virtual reality glasses 10 minutes before cystoscopy. The content chosen by the patient (there will be three options) will be watched throughout the procedure.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
The effect of virtual reality applications on pain during cystoscopy	30 minutes after the procedure	The patient's pain will be assessed using the 'Visual Analog Scale (VAS).' This scale involves marking on a 10 cm vertical or horizontal line, with one end indicating no pain at all and the other end indicating the most severe pain, to assess and measure the level of pain.
The effect of virtual reality applications on anxiety during cystoscopy	30 minutes after the procedure	Procedure related anxiety will be assessed using the 'State Anxiety Inventory.' This inventory consists of a total of 20 items and the scoring ranges from 20 to 80 points. The higher the total score obtained from the scale, the higher the level of anxiety experienced by the individual is interpreted.
