Virtual reality (VR) glasses are used as a midwifery intervention to reduce anxiety, stress, comfort and pain by directing the individual's attention to a different direction. VR glasses are a stress induction method that provides a fictional reality simulation with visual-visual orientation and three-dimensional views that allow the person to experience real-time perspective. Although the purpose of designing VR glasses is the entertainment sector and architectural studies, the use of VR glasses in the medical field has been increasing recently. In clinical areas, VR glasses are used to direct the attention of patients to another direction, reduce anxiety, stress and pain, and provide comfort and convenience. Some studies in the field of obstetrics reveal the positive effect of VR glasses.
