Brief Summary

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

The research was planned as a randomized controlled experimental study to determine the effect of virtual reality goggles on pain, anxiety and hemodynamic variables during urodynamics. The minimum sample size was calculated as 42 in each group with d=0.8, (1- α, bidirectional), 95% power with reference to the effect size limit of 0.8 in G\*Power (3.1) program. Descriptive Information Form, Visual Analog Scale, State Anxiety Scale and Hemodynamic Variables Monitoring Form will be used to collect research data. The individuals in the sample group will be informed about the method followed in the application and the research and their verbal and written permissions will be obtained. Introductory Information Form, Visual Analog Scale, State Anxiety Scale and Hemodynamic Variables Monitoring Form will be completed. After the forms are applied to the patients and recorded, it will be determined whether they will be in the study or control group according to the randomization schedule.Patients in the study group will be shown videos with virtual reality glasses during the procedure. Nature landscapes with relaxing music background will be watched with virtual reality goggles by adjusting the volume at the level desired by the patient. Virtual reality goggles will be applied during the urodynamic procedure. The control group will receive routine care. After the virtual reality application, pain, anxiety levels and hemodynamic variables will be re-evaluated immediately and 15 minutes after the procedure. The data obtained in the study will be analyzed using SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Sciences) for Windows 25.0 program. Descriptive statistical methods (number, percentage, min-max values, mean and standard deviation) will be used to evaluate the data. Parametric and nonparametric tests will be used according to the suitability of the data used for normal distribution. P \< 0.05 will be taken as statistically significant difference

Detailed Description

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

The research was planned as a randomized controlled experimental study to determine the effect of virtual reality goggles on pain, anxiety and hemodynamic variables during urodynamics. The population of the study, which is planned as a randomized controlled experimental study, will consist of patients who apply to the Urology Outpatient Clinic of Mersin University Hospital and will undergo urodynamics. The minimum sample size was calculated as 42 in each group with d=0.8, (1- α, bidirectional), 95% power with reference to the effect size limit of 0.8 in G\*Power (3.1) program. Descriptive Information Form, Visual Analog Scale, State Anxiety Scale and Hemodynamic Variables Monitoring Form will be used to collect research data. The individuals in the sample group will be informed about the method followed in the application and the research and their verbal and written permissions will be obtained. Introductory Information Form, Visual Analog Scale, State Anxiety Scale and Hemodynamic Variables Monitoring Form will be completed. After the forms are applied to the patients and recorded, it will be determined whether they will be in the study or control group according to the randomization schedule.Patients in the study group will be shown videos with virtual reality glasses during the procedure. Nature landscapes with relaxing music background will be watched with virtual reality goggles by adjusting the volume at the level desired by the patient. Virtual reality goggles will be applied during the urodynamic procedure. The control group will receive routine care. After the virtual reality application, pain, anxiety levels and hemodynamic variables will be re-evaluated immediately and 15 minutes after the procedure. The data obtained in the study will be analyzed using SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Sciences) for Windows 25.0 program. Pearson-χ2 test will be used for categorical variables. Descriptive statistical methods (number, percentage, min-max values, mean and standard deviation) will be used to evaluate the data. Parametric and nonparametric tests will be used according to the suitability of the data used for normal distribution. P \< 0.05 will be taken as statistically significant difference

Investigators Outcome Assessors
The information showing that the patients included in the research sample are assigned to group A and B according to the randomization table will be placed in an opaque envelope. This envelope will be kept by the researcher (GAU) and when the researchers (GB and EKD) go to the patient for the application, they will open the envelope after filling out the "Informed Consent Form" and learn which group the patient is in. While the researchers (GB and EKD) will be blinded in assigning the patients to the groups, they will not be blinded in the application and evaluation phase due to the application of virtual reality glasses. When the research is completed, the data will be transferred to the computer environment by a statistician who does not know the A and B groups, and the data will be analyzed by a statistician independent of the research and the findings will be reported. Thus, the data analysis and statistics phase will also be blinded to group assignment.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

EXPERIMENTAL GROUP

After the forms are applied to the patients and recorded, it will be determined whether they will be in the study or control group according to the randomization schedule. Patients in the study group will be shown a video with virtual reality glasses during the procedure. Patients will be asked to wear a virtual reality goggle (VR Box Virtual Reality Headset 3D Vr Glasses V2.0 2020 model) that is compatible with a mobile phone (Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 Pro 2019 model) with android operating system and minimizes sound loss in the supine position. With the virtual reality glasses, nature landscapes with relaxing music background will be watched by adjusting the volume at the level desired by the patient. Virtual reality glasses will be applied during the urodynamics procedure. After the device is applied to each patient, it will be disinfected in accordance with the company's recommendation.
