Brief Summary

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

The aim of this study is to determine whether the use of earplugs and eye masks in adults reduces anxiety during Manyetic Resonance Imaging. In addition, in order to evaluate the effect of earplugs and eye masks on the physiological symptoms of anxiety, the pulse rate, blood pressure, respiratory rate, and saturation value of adults will be measured before and after imaging.

H0: Earplugs and eye masks have no effect on state anxiety levels. H1: Earplugs and eye masks have an effect on state anxiety levels. H2: Earplugs and eye masks have an effect on heart rate. H3: Earplugs and eye masks have an effect on respiratory rate. H4: Earplugs and eye masks have an effect on systolic blood pressure. H5: Earplugs and eye masks have an effect on diastolic blood pressure. H6: Earplugs and eye masks have an effect on saturation values.

Detailed Description

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

Patients who have previously had appointments at the MR unit of Manisa Celal Bayar University Hafsa Sultan Hospital will be included in the study. In addition to the routine information provided by the MR technician to patients in the study group selected by random sampling, written consent (Informed Consent Form) will be obtained from patients who agree to participate in the study prior to MRG. The patient information form, anxiety monitoring form, and measurements of blood pressure, pulse rate, respiratory rate, and saturation rate will be recorded in the physiological signs section. Prior to imaging, the researcher will provide a brief explanation of the imaging process, and the participant will be provided with customised earplugs and an eye mask to wear during imaging. After imaging, blood pressure, pulse rate, respiratory rate, and saturation values will be measured again at 0 minutes, and the anxiety monitoring form will be completed. For the control group, written consent (Informed Consent Form) will be obtained from participants who have agreed to voluntarily participate in the study. Blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, and oxygen saturation will be measured before and after the imaging, and no intervention will be performed. The study will include patients aged 18-65 who are participating in MRI for the first time, who have voluntarily agreed to participate in the study, and who have undergone brain, thoracic, and cervical MRI scans lasting at least 30 minutes.

Study Design

Understand how the trial is structured, including allocation methods, masking strategies, primary purpose, and other design elements.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

This is a randomized, controlled, parallel- group study with 2 arms: an intervention group receiving earplugs and eye mask during MRI, and a control group receiving standard care without sensory isolation devices.

Primary Study Purpose

SUPPORTIVE_CARE

Blinding Strategy

SINGLE

Outcome Assessors

A single-blind method will be used to reduce bias in the study. The evaluator, who will record physiological indicators (pulse, blood pressure, saturation value) and apply the anxiety scale, will not know which group the participants belong to.

Study Groups

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

1. Earplugs ve eye mask Arm

The patient information form containing the patient's pre-imaging information, anxiety monitoring form, and physiological symptoms will be measured and recorded as necessary. The researcher will provide a brief explanation about the imaging procedure to the intervention group, and each individual will be given a single-use earplug and eye mask to wear during the imaging procedure. Immediately after the imaging procedure, the anxiety monitoring form will be completed again, and physiological symptoms will be measured and recorded.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Earplugs and eye mask

Intervention Type DEVICE

Participants in the experimental group will use earplugs and eye mask during MRI. The use of these devices aims to decrease anxiety levels caused by noise and the MRI procedure. Physiological parameters and axiety scores will be monitored throughout the study.

2. Control Arm

Participants in the control group will receive standard care without any additional experimental intervention. Physiological parameters and anxiety levels will be assessed at baseline and the end of the imaging.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group
