简要总结
The aim this crossover designed study is to examine the effect of watching a relaxing video with using virtual reality glasses (VR-G) during the break period of a working shift on the stress levels of surgical nurses.
Nurses will be asked to watch a relaxing video with using VR-G for 20 minutes at their break time (the first procedure).
After one-week wash-out period, researchers will compare second procedure (no video watch with VR-G) to see if there is any difference on the stress levels of the nurses.
详细描述
Allocation of the nurses to the procedure groups (with VR-G and no VR-G procedures) is done with using Random Allocation Software program.
Among the with VR-G procedure:
The nurses were asked to watch a relaxing video with using VR-G for 20 minutes at their break time. The researcher visited the nurses at the beginning of the working shift and asked the nurse stress scale items to them in the nursing room, scheduled a break period with them individually and visited them again at the scheduled time. Then, the researcher prepared the video and googles, asked nurses to sit on the chair in the nursing room at the surgical unit, helped them to wear the VR-G and let them alone to watch the video for 20 minutes.
At the end of their working shift, the researcher visited them and asked the scale items once again.
Among the no VR-G procedure:

结局指标
主要结局
Stress level
时间窗: At the beginning and end of nurses daily working shift through study completion, an average of six months.
will be evaluated with using the "Nurse Stress Scale (NSS)" which is developed by Gray-Toft and Anderson and, translated and validated in Turkish by Mert, Sayilan and Baydemir. This scale consists of seven subcategories and 34 positive items rated using a 4-point Likert scoring system "1-never", "2-sometimes", 3-often," "4-very often". The total scale score, which reflects the frequency of the stress experienced by nurses, ranges from 34 to 136 points. A higher score indicates more frequent stress, while a lower score indicates less stress for the same situations.
