Effect of Virtual Reality Goggles on Pain, Anxiety and Hemodynamic Variables During Urodynamics

The research was planned as a randomized controlled experimental study to determine the effect of virtual reality goggles on pain, anxiety and hemodynamic variables during urodynamics. The minimum sample size was calculated as 42 in each group with d=0.8, (1- α, bidirectional), 95% power with reference to the effect size limit of 0.8 in G\*Power (3.1) program. Descriptive Information Form, Visual Analog Scale, State Anxiety Scale and Hemodynamic Variables Monitoring Form will be used to collect research data. The individuals in the sample group will be informed about the method followed in the application and the research and their verbal and written permissions will be obtained. Introductory Information Form, Visual Analog Scale, State Anxiety Scale and Hemodynamic Variables Monitoring Form will be completed. After the forms are applied to the patients and recorded, it will be determined whether they will be in the study or control group according to the randomization schedule.Patients in the study group will be shown videos with virtual reality glasses during the procedure. Nature landscapes with relaxing music background will be watched with virtual reality goggles by adjusting the volume at the level desired by the patient. Virtual reality goggles will be applied during the urodynamic procedure. The control group will receive routine care. After the virtual reality application, pain, anxiety levels and hemodynamic variables will be re-evaluated immediately and 15 minutes after the procedure. The data obtained in the study will be analyzed using SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Sciences) for Windows 25.0 program. Descriptive statistical methods (number, percentage, min-max values, mean and standard deviation) will be used to evaluate the data. Parametric and nonparametric tests will be used according to the suitability of the data used for normal distribution. P \< 0.05 will be taken as statistically significant difference

Effects of Breastfeeding, Virtual Reality, and Stress Ball on Pain, Anxiety, Cortisol Levels, and Comfort During Episiotomy Repair

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the effects of three different interventions-breastfeeding, using a stress ball, or wearing virtual reality (VR) goggles-on pain, anxiety, and stress during episiotomy repair (stitching) after childbirth. It also aims to examine how these methods affect a mother's comfort after the procedure. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does breastfeeding, using a stress ball, or using VR goggles lower the mother's pain and anxiety during the repair? Do these interventions reduce the mother's biological stress levels, measured by saliva cortisol tests? Do these methods lead to higher postpartum comfort levels for the mother in the first 24 hours after birth? Researcher will compare these three intervention groups to a "control group" (mothers receiving standard hospital care) to see which approach is most effective. Participants will: Be randomly assigned to one of four groups: Breastfeeding, VR Goggles, Stress Ball, or Standard Care. Use their assigned intervention throughout the entire episiotomy repair process. Provide saliva samples before and after the procedure to measure stress hormones (cortisol). Rate their pain and anxiety levels using clinical scales twice: once before the procedure begins and once immediately after it is finished. Complete a survey about their comfort levels between 6 and 24 hours after the delivery.

Virtual Reality for Anxiety Relief in Infertile Women

This study examines the impact of virtual reality (VR) applications on anxiety levels before and after embryo transfer procedures. The clinical trial will involve 80 participants, aged 18 to 50, who are receiving treatment at a healthcare facility in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC). The primary objective is to evaluate the effectiveness of VR as an intervention for reducing anxiety in individuals undergoing assisted reproductive treatments.
