Virtual Reality (VR) Based Relaxation for Nausea and Comfort in Pregnancy
Sponsor: Filiz Keskin
Summary
This study aims to evaluate the effect of a virtual reality (VR)-based visual relaxation intervention on nausea and vomiting severity, sleep quality, and comfort in pregnant women. Nausea and vomiting are common symptoms during pregnancy and may negatively affect women's quality of life and overall well-being. Non-pharmacological interventions such as VR-based relaxation may provide a safe and effective alternative to improve these symptoms. In this randomized controlled study, pregnant women will be assigned to either an intervention group receiving VR-based relaxation or a control group receiving standard care. The outcomes will be assessed using validated measurement tools for nausea and vomiting severity, sleep quality, and comfort. The findings of this study are expected to contribute to improving maternal comfort and supporting non-invasive care approaches during pregnancy.

Interventions
Virtual Reality (VR) Visual Relaxation - Single Session
Participants will receive one session of virtual reality (VR)-based visual relaxation lasting approximately 15 minutes. The session will be administered in addition to standard antenatal care and is designed to promote relaxation, reduce nausea and vomiting severity, improve sleep quality, and enhance comfort during pregnancy.
Virtual Reality (VR) Visual Relaxation - Three Sessions
Participants will receive three sessions of virtual reality (VR)-based visual relaxation, each lasting approximately 15 minutes and administered every other day. The intervention will be provided in addition to standard antenatal care and is designed to promote relaxation, reduce nausea and vomiting severity, improve sleep quality, and enhance comfort during pregnancy.
