Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of this study was the determination of the effect of applying VR and DC distraction methods on patients' pain and satisfaction levels during IM benzathine penicillin injection.

The research hypothesis:

1. Are Virtual Reality and Distraction Card effective in reducing pain due to injection of IM benzathine penicillin?
2. Does the use of Virtual Reality and Distraction Card during the injection process of IM benzathine penicillin have an effect on patient satisfaction?
