Effect of Virtual Reality on Patient Outcomes and Satisfaction in Total Knee Replacement

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of virtual reality (VR) in managing preoperative anxiety and postoperative pain in patients undergoing total knee replacement. Investigators will assess the impact of preoperative VR training on anxiety levels, explore the effectiveness of relaxing and distracting VR videos for pain management after surgery, and determine the optimal timing for VR application by comparing different VR intervention times. Our goal is to identify how VR can improve both the emotional and physical recovery process for patients undergoing knee replacement surgery.

Audio Hypnosis for Reducing Anxiety in Children and Adolescents Undergoing MRI: A Randomized Controlled Trial

The goal of this clinical trial is to find out if listening to an audio hypnosis recording can help reduce anxiety in children and adolescents (ages 6-14) who are getting an MRI scan without sedation. The main questions the study will answer are: Does listening to a hypnosis audio before an MRI help children feel less anxious? Can hypnosis audio help reduce scan interruptions or early terminations? To find out, researchers will compare one group of children who listen to the hypnosis audio with another group who receive the usual explanation from medical staff to see if the audio helps lower anxiety and makes the MRI process smoother. What participants will do: Be randomly placed into either the hypnosis group (who get access to the hypnosis audio) or the control group (who receive the usual explanation). Listen to the hypnosis audio as many times as they like before the MRI (if in the hypnosis group). Fill out questionnaires before and after the MRI to measure anxiety (both children and parents). Have their MRI scan while researchers track any interruptions or early terminations. Have their anxiety levels rated by MRI technologists after the scan. This study aims to see if a simple, non-medication method like audio hypnosis can help children feel calmer during MRI exams.

Management of Preoperative Anxiety in Children: Could a Lollipop Be the Solution?

The aim of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of distraction using a lollipop versus premedication with intranasal midazolam to manage preoperative anxiety in pediatric anesthesia.

The Effects of Wearing Operation Gown With Cartoon Characters on Reducing Preoperative Anxiety in Children: Randomized Controlled Study

The operating room environment can be frightening for pediatric patients. Many techniques have been used to make the operating room environment less intimidating, including allowing parents to accompany part of this procedure, play therapy and various distraction strategies during the entrance to the operating room. In a survey study, it was reported that parents were expected to create hospital conditions with a more child-friendly atmosphere. In this context, it is thought that creating a warmer environment for children, including the clothes worn in the operating room, may reduce the anxiety level of children. In this study, investigators' aim was to investigate the effect of wearing an hospital gown with cartoon characters on the reduction of preoperative anxiety in children scheduled for Orthopedic surgery by in the operating room.
