EFFECTS OF VİRTUAL REALİTY AND MOBİLE PHONE-BASED DİSTRACTİON ON PAİN AND ANXİETY DURİNG BURN DRESSİNG CHANGES: A RANDOMİZED CONTROLLED TRİAL
Sponsor: Senem Andı
Summary
This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the effects of virtual reality (VR) and smartphone-based distraction methods on pain and anxiety during dressing changes in outpatients with burns. A total of 99 patients, with 33 in each group, will be randomly assigned to VR, smartphone, or control groups. Pain and anxiety will be assessed immediately after dressing using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and Burn-Specific Pain Anxiety Scale (BSPAS). The study is expected to provide evidence on non-pharmacological distraction methods that may improve patient comfort during burn care.

Conditions
Interventions
VR
Participants will receive standard visual and auditory content via a VR headset during burn dressing changes. The intervention aims to distract patients from pain and anxiety. Pain and anxiety will be assessed immediately after the procedure using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and Burn-Specific Pain Anxiety Scale (BSPAS).
Smartphone Distraction
Participants will use self-selected visual and auditory content on their personal smartphones during burn dressing changes to reduce pain and anxiety. Pain and anxiety will be measured immediately after the procedure using VAS and BSPAS.
