Interventions
Virtual Reality
Women treated with virtual reality will be presented with videos of natural scenes (forest and sea) accompanied by nature sounds and asked to watch. The headset will be fitted before the procedure begins, and women will be instructed on how to continue watching the video while wearing the headset during the procedure.
Nature sounds
Women in the nature sounds group will be given the opportunity to listen to relaxing nature sounds (sea, rain, wind, river, birds) using MP3 players and headphones according to their preferences throughout the non-stress test.
Control
Participants in the control group received standard care (verbal information about procedure and a short written information about the procedure) and no intervention will perform.
