Brief Summary

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

It was aimed to investigate the effects of watching a video with water sound via virtual reality and listening to the sound of water through headphones on urination, fear and pain in children in the post-operative period.

Detailed Description

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

Urinary retention is the inability to urinate despite a full bladder and is a common complication of surgery and anesthesia. Excessive urinary pressure and bladder distension are emergencies that can lead to kidney damage or dysfunction. Various methods are used to prevent urinary retention, including imitating the sound of running water, massaging the bladder, taking a warm bath, and perineal water flow. A literature review found no studies examining the effect of the sound of running water on pain, but found studies on other distraction methods used during painful procedures in children. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effects of watching a quiet video and listening to the sound of water in a virtual reality setting on urination, fear, and pain in the postoperative period.

Study Groups

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

Control group

A group that will not receive any intervention and will be observed. After surgery, children are told not to hold their urine and are observed. 35 children are evaluated.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group

Experimental group-1 (listening to water sound)

The group that will listen to the sound of water. After the surgery, children are made to listen to the sound of water and their urination times, fear and pain levels are evaluated. 35 children are evaluated.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Listening to the sound of water

Intervention Type OTHER

Urination status will be examined by listening to the sound of water or watching a video with water sound through VR glasses.

Experimental group-2 (watching videos with VR glasses)

The group will watch a video with the sound of water using virtual reality. After the surgery, children are shown a video with the sound of water using VR glasses to assess their urination, pain, and fear. 35 children are evaluated.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Listening to the sound of water

Intervention Type OTHER

Urination status will be examined by listening to the sound of water or watching a video with water sound through VR glasses.
