Detailed Description

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

The aim of this study is to determine the level of pain and comfort associated with the implementation of virtual reality prior to nursing care in patients undergoing treatment in the intensive care unit.

The study will be conducted in the Internal Medicine Intensive Care Unit of a university hospital. The study population will consist of patients admitted to the internal medicine unit who are between 18 and 65 years of age, are conscious with a Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score of 10 or above, have no auditory or visual impairments, and are not receiving mechanical ventilation support.

A total of 60 patients will be included in the study and randomly assigned into two groups: 30 in the experimental group and 30 in the control group.

Data will be collected through face-to-face interviews using a Sociodemographic Characteristics and Information Description Form, a Visual Analog Scale (VAS), and the General Comfort Scale - Short Form (GCS-SF).

The intervention for the experimental group will include viewing calming videos using a virtual reality headset before nursing care. Pain and general comfort levels will be evaluated 24 hours after the nursing care procedure.

Statistical analyses such as percentage calculations, t-test, Mann-Whitney U test, and Spearman correlation analysis will be used to evaluate the data.

Blinding Strategy

NONE

In the experimentally planned study, patients diagnosed with cancer hospitalized in the 10-bed internal medicine intensive care unit at Eskişehir Osmangazi University Hospital were first evaluated in terms of the inclusion criteria, and individuals who did not meet the criteria were excluded from the study. Eligible individuals were included in one of the intervention group and control groups using virtual reality glasses by randomization method. The lottery method was used to randomize individuals to research groups. In this method, 30 pieces of red and blue paper were placed into 2 black fabric bags by the researcher. Red paper represents the intervention group and blue paper represents the control group. Individuals who met the inclusion criteria and agreed to participate in the study were asked to randomly choose a piece of paper from the bags. In this way, the groups were automatically balanced.

Study Groups

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

virtual reality

During care, patients are given a duration of 3-10 minutes. virtual reality glasses (VR box 2.0 virtual glasses) for a total of 15 minutes walks in parks, nature and seaside with music background, with reality glasses (6.5 inches), videos that the patient wants to watch and whenever he/she wants, such as underwater or museum tours. Videos that could be changed were shown.

Group Type OTHER

virtual reality, experimental group

Intervention Type OTHER

Socio-demographic characteristics form questions were asked to individuals in the intervention group before care. During the care, patients are given virtual reality glasses (VR box 2.0 virtual reality glasses and 6.5 inch) for a total of 15 minutes, ranging from 3 to 10 minutes, and watch videos that the patient wants to watch, such as park, nature and seaside walks, undersea and museum trips, with a music background. and he was shown videos that he could change at any time. After the maintenance, Visual Analog Scale-Pain (VAS-P) scale, General Comfort Level Scale and Satisfaction Evaluation Scale for Virtual Reality Glasses Application questions were applied. 24 hours after the care, VAS-P and General Comfort Level Scale were administered again.

control group

Intervention Type OTHER

A socio-demographic questionnaire was administered to the control group before care. During maintenance, no intervention was applied and standard care in routine practice was applied. After the care, Visual Analog Scale-Pain (VAS-P) scale and General Comfort Scale were applied. 24 hours after the treatment, the Visual Analog Scale-Pain (VAS-P) scale and the General Comfort Scale were applied again.
