Brief Summary

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

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.

Detailed Description

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

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:

The nurses did not watch any video and copleted their routine working shift and break times. The researcher visited the nurses at the beginning and at the end of their working shift and asked the nurse stress scale items to them in the nursing room.
