Group Intervention Description Emotional Freedom Technique Group Emotional Freedom Technique When the patient, who was determined to be in the emotional liberation group, was admitted to the unit, the patient's consent was first obtained; In the first 10 minutes, the patient will fill out the Patient Introduction Form, State Anxiety Scale, Subjective Disturbance Unit Scale and Vital Signs Form in the Unit. Emotional liberation technique will be applied and then the subjective disturbance unit score will be recorded. Then the patient will fill out the State Anxiety Scale and Vital Signs Forms and the patient will be informed about the treatment. He will then be taken into treatment. When the patient leaves the treatment, the process will be completed by filling out the State Anxiety Scale, Subjective Disturbance Unit Scale and Vital Signs Form again within 10 minutes. Virtual Reality Glasses Group Virtual Reality Glasses Consent was first obtained for admission differences to the patient unit, which was noted to have virtual reality limits; Patient Introduction Form, State Anxiety Scale, Subjective Disturbance Unit Scale and Vital Tests Form will be filled in the unit. Then the virtual reality of life will be explained and glasses will be purchased. Forest/beach/sea video images can be watched in virtual reality. The video is planned to last approximately 10 minutes. The application is planned to take 20-25 minutes. Before the session, the State Anxiety Scale, SUBJECTIVE DISORDER UNIT SCALE and Vital Tests Form will be filled in again, the patient will be informed and then the treatment will be administered. Once the treatment is completed, the patient will take a third measurement within 10 minutes and the State Anxiety Scale, Subjective Disturbance Unit Scale and Life Parameters Form will be filled out again.
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method State Anxiety Inventory (STAI) It will be applied within the first 10 minutes when the patient arrives at the Hyperbaric Oxygen treatment center, 10 minutes before the treatment and 10 minutes after the treatment. In the State Anxiety Inventory, the individual evaluates how he or she feels "at the moment" and according to the severity of the emotions or behaviors expressed in the items (1) "never", (2) "a little", (3) "a lot" and (4) "a lot".

The lowest total score that can be obtained from the State Anxiety Scale is 20, and the highest total score is 80. A high score indicates a high level of anxiety, and a low score indicates a low level of anxiety.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Body Temperature It will be applied within the first 10 minutes when the patient arrives at the Hyperbaric Oxygen treatment center, 10 minutes before the treatment and 10 minutes after the treatment. It will be evaluated with a thermometer device. Accepted normal values: 36-37 ° C
Blood Pressure It will be applied within the first 10 minutes when the patient arrives at the Hyperbaric Oxygen treatment center, 10 minutes before the treatment and 10 minutes after the treatment. Blood pressure was evaluated with a sphygmomanometer. Accepted normal values: Systolic blood pressure: 100-120 mmHg, Diastolic blood pressure: 60-80 mmHg.
Pulse It will be applied within the first 10 minutes when the patient arrives at the Hyperbaric Oxygen treatment center, 10 minutes before the treatment and 10 minutes after the treatment. Pulse was evaluated with a pulse oximeter device. Accepted normal values: 60-100 pulse /min
Respiration It will be applied within the first 10 minutes when the patient arrives at the Hyperbaric Oxygen treatment center, 10 minutes before the treatment and 10 minutes after the treatment. Respiration was evaluated by observation. Accepted normal values:12-20 respiration /min
Oxygen Saturation It will be applied within the first 10 minutes when the patient arrives at the Hyperbaric Oxygen treatment center, 10 minutes before the treatment and 10 minutes after the treatment. Oxygen saturation was evaluated with a pulse oximetry device. Accepted normal values: SpO2: 95-100%.
