The Effect of Virtual Reality Goggles and Distraction Cards Applied to Children Aged 6-12 Years During Inhaler Therapy on Physiological Parameters and Anxiety
Sponsor: Uskudar University
Summary
In the literature, studies examining the effect of virtual reality application on physiological parameters and anxiety during inhalation therapy, which is frequently used in children, are quite limited. Therefore, this study will be conducted to determine the effect of virtual reality goggles and distraction cards on physiological parameters and anxiety in patients receiving inhalation therapy.

Interventions
virtual reality goggles and inhalation treatment
Video recording will be started after the consent is obtained. One minute before the procedure, the child's physical parameters (peak heart rate, respiratory rate, oxygen saturation) and anxiety will be measured and recorded. Then, the child will be fitted with virtual reality goggles and inhalation treatment will be started by watching the aquarium and sea creatures video. Inhalation treatment will last for 10 minutes with the most appropriate air flow rate of 6-8 L/min. Then, the virtual reality goggles will be removed and the child's physiological parameters and anxiety will be measured and recorded again after 1 minute. For participants who want to participate in the study but do not approve the video recording, the evaluations will be made by a nurse independent of the study.
distraction cards and inhalation therapy
After the consent is obtained, the video recording will be started. 1 minute before the procedure, the child's physical parameters (heart rate, respiratory rate, oxygen saturation) and anxiety will be measured and recorded. Then, the child will be shown distraction cards and inhalation therapy will be started simultaneously. Playing with the distraction cards will continue for 10 minutes until the end of the inhalation therapy. Then, the use of the toys will be stopped and the child's physiological parameters and anxiety will be recorded after 1 minute. The video recording will be ended. For participants who want to participate in the study but do not consent to being video recorded, the evaluations will be made by a nurse independent of the study.
inhalation therapy
After the consent is received, the video recording will be started. 1 minute before the procedure, the child's physical parameters (heart rate, respiratory rate, oxygen saturation) and anxiety will be measured and recorded. Then, inhalation therapy will be started with routine service application. The child will receive inhalation therapy for 10 minutes. 1 minute after the procedure, physiological parameters and anxiety will be measured and recorded again. The video recording will be ended. For participants who want to participate in the study but do not approve of being video recorded, evaluations will be made by a nurse independent of the study.
