简要总结
The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of listening to nature sounds in a virtual reality forest on pain, vital signs, comfort, and patient satisfaction during chest tube removal. This study aims to determine whether there are significant differences in pain, comfort, patient satisfaction, and vital signs between the experimental and control groups during chest tube removal. "In this study, a VR video featuring a relaxing forest environment with nature sounds will be used with a virtual reality headset. Patients will be exposed to both auditory and visual stimuli. It is anticipated that the findings of this randomized controlled experimental study will make a significant contribution to the literature and clinical
详细描述
Study Type: This research will be conducted using a pretest-posttest, randomized controlled experimental design.
Demographic Information Form This form, developed by the researcher, includes patient age, gender, education level, diagnosis, and information regarding the location of the chest tube placement.
Visual Analog Scale (Pain) Created by Price et al. (1983), this scale ranges from 0, defined as "No pain," to 10, defined as "Unbearable pain." Patients are asked to score their pain between 0 and 10, representing the intensity of the pain they experience .
Patient Satisfaction Scale A satisfaction scale was developed to assess patients' satisfaction with the chest tube removal procedure. Patients will be asked to rate their satisfaction on a scale from 0 to 10.
Vital Signs Monitoring Form This form records the patient's vital signs (systolic and diastolic blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, and peripheral oxygen saturation) before and after chest tube removal.

研究组 & 干预措施
Control Group
For patients assigned to the control group, 15 minutes before chest tube removal, only the Patient Demographic Form will be administered, without any intervention beyond the clinical protocol. Ten minutes before the procedure, patients will complete the Visual Analog Scale (Pain) and Vital Signs Monitoring Form. Patients will be informed about the procedure. They will be placed in a semi-Fowler position and asked to raise their arms upward. Once positioned correctly, patients will be instructed to take a deep breath and hold it while the chest tube is removed. Pain will be assessed immediately after the procedure. Ten minutes after the procedure, pain, patient satisfaction, comfort, and vital signs will be evaluated using the respective scales.
Virtual Reality with Nature Sounds
Data for the intervention group will be collected using the same data collection tools and time points as the control group, with the addition of the virtual reality (VR) application. The Patient Demographic Form will be administered 15 minutes before chest tube removal. Ten minutes before the procedure, patients will complete the Visual Analog Scale (Pain) and Vital Signs Monitoring Form. Patients will be informed about the procedure. Before the attending assistant physician arrives, the VR headset and headphones will be placed on the patient, and the patient will be positioned appropriately. During the procedure, the patient will view a virtual forest environment and listen to nature sounds for 5-10 minutes. Pain will be assessed immediately after the procedure. Ten minutes after the procedure, pain, patient satisfaction, vital signs, and comfort levels will be evaluated using the corresponding scales.

结局指标
主要结局
Pain level during chest tube removal
时间窗: Pain levels will be measured 10 minutes before chest tube removal, immediately after removal, and 10 minutes after removal.
Patient pain status is determined using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS). A score of 0 indicates 'no pain,' and a score of 10 indicates 'worst possible pain.' Higher scores indicate worse outcomes
次要结局
- vital signs- Heart Rate(10 minutes before chest tube removal and 10 minutes after chest tube removal.)
- Vital signs- Respiratory Rate(10 minutes before chest tube removal and 10 minutes after chest tube removal.)
- Patient Satisfaction(The patient satisfaction scale will be administered 10 minutes after the chest tube removal.)
- Patient comfort level(The comfort level is asked to the patient 10 minutes after chest tube removal for both the control and VR groups)
- Vital Signs- Peripheral Oxygen Saturation (SpO₂)(10 minutes before chest tube removal and 10 minutes after chest tube removal.)
- Vital Signs- Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP) and Diastolic Blood Pressure (DBP)(10 minutes before chest tube removal and 10 minutes after chest tube removal.)
