Brief Summary

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

This randomized controlled study aims to examine the effects of using virtual reality glasses and white noise during peripheral intravenous catheterization on pain, anxiety, and satisfaction in adult patients. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of three groups: virtual reality, white noise, or control. Pain and anxiety levels will be assessed using standardized scales immediately after the procedure, and satisfaction will be evaluated following the intervention. The study aims to determine whether these non-pharmacological methods can reduce pain and anxiety and increase patient satisfaction during intravenous catheterization.

Study Groups

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

Virtual Reality Group

Participants in this group will wear virtual reality glasses displaying relaxing nature scenes during peripheral intravenous catheterization. The intervention will begin three minute before the procedure and continue until catheter insertion is completed.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Virtual Reality Glasses

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Participants in this group will wear virtual reality glasses displaying calming nature scenes accompanied by ambient sounds during peripheral intravenous catheterization. The intervention will begin three minutes before the procedure and continue until completion. This visual distraction technique is intended to reduce pain perception and anxiety levels and to increase patient satisfaction during the procedure.

White Noise Group

Participants in this group will listen to natural white noise (the sound of rain) through headphones during peripheral intravenous catheterization. The sound will begin three minutes before the procedure and continue until the catheterization is completed.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

White Noise (Rain Sound)

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Participants will listen to natural white noise, specifically the sound of rain, through headphones during peripheral intravenous catheterization. The sound will begin three minutes before the procedure and continue until completion. This auditory distraction technique is intended to reduce pain perception and anxiety levels and to increase patient satisfaction during the procedure.

Control Group

Participants in this group will receive routine peripheral intravenous catheterization without any additional intervention.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group
