Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
A total of 126 participants were randomly assigned to intervention and control groups (63 each). Inclusion criteria included women aged between 19 and 49 years, literate, and voluntarily agreeing to participate. Women with gynecological cancer, communication impairments, or visual/auditory disabilities were excluded.
The intervention group received standard gynecological examination procedures along with VR glasses showing immersive nature videos during the examination. The control group underwent the examination without VR intervention. Data collection tools included a Personal Information Form, Pain Beliefs Questionnaire, the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for pain, and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory-I (STAI-I) for anxiety. In addition, a Satisfaction Form was applied to the intervention group after the examination.
The aim of the study was to determine whether VR application can reduce perceived pain and anxiety during gynecological procedures. The findings of this study are expected to contribute to non-pharmacological nursing interventions in women's health practices.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Virtual Reality Intervention Group
Participants in this group underwent a routine gynecological examination while wearing virtual reality glasses that displayed immersive nature-themed videos with visual and auditory stimuli to reduce anxiety and pain.
Virtual Reality Glasses
Participants in the intervention group wore virtual reality (VR) glasses during the gynecological examination. The VR content included immersive nature-themed scenes accompanied by calming background music. The intervention aimed to provide a multisensory distraction to reduce perceived anxiety and pain levels during the procedure.
Routine Care Without VR Group
Participants in this group received standard gynecological examination without any virtual reality intervention. No visual or auditory stimulus was provided during the procedure.
No interventions assigned to this group
