Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This study was designed as a pretest-posttest regular parallel group, randomized controlled experimental. The research will be carried out in the general surgery clinic of Necmettin Erbakan University Meram Medical Faculty Hospital. Patients will be randomly assigned to three groups: ball squeezing (37), virtual reality glasses (37) and control group (37). For Virtual Reality Glasses Group: The video containing the nature walk will be watched by virtual reality. 3 minutes after the individual starts watching the video, the IV catheter insertion attempt will be performed while continuing to watch the video. For Ball Squeezing Group: Patients will be given a ball and instructed to tighten and loosen with their free hand during intravenöz catheter placement. The intravenöz catheter insertion attempt will be made while the patient continues to squeeze the ball. For Control Group: No application will be made during intravenous catheter placement in the control group.The primary outcome of this study was to determine the patients' pain scores during the peripheral venous cannula insertion process.The secondary outcomes of the study were to determine the patients' anxiety levels.

Participants Outcome Assessors

The patients will be informed about the study and their consent will be obtained without explaining which group they are in. Since the researcher manages the implementation process of the study, researcher blinding cannot be done. In addition, it will be ensured that the researcher learns which group the patients are in after the patients accept to participate in the study. Thus, the internal validity of the research will be ensured. Since data is collected from the patients in the sample group at the time of admission to the ward, interaction between patients will be prevented.

At the same time, blind technique will be applied in terms of statistical analysis in the research. The data will be recorded on the computer by the researcher without using the expression of experimental and control groups, and data analysis will be done by another statistician other than the person who made the randomization.
