This study was conducted as a non-randomized control group experimental study to determine the effect of virtual reality glasses on vital signs and state anxiety levels.

Read the detailed description

Purpose This study was conducted as a non-randomized control group experimental study to determine the effect of virtual reality glasses on vital signs and state anxiety levels in cancer patients receiving chemotherapy for the first time.

Methods and Sample The population of the study was composed of adult patients admitted to an oncology hospital in Ankara province with a diagnosis of stage I-II-III cancer to undergo chemotherapy treatment for the first time. The sample of the study consisted of 30 patients who were assigned to the intervention and control groups by the stratified sampling method (considering such characteristics as age, gender, marital status). The patient identification form, Spielberger state anxiety scale, patient opinion form, vital signs follow-up form, and virtual reality glasses were used to collect the data.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Virtual GlassesDevice

    In the research, Samsung Gear VR SM-R323 brand and model SG glasses provided by the researcher were used. Patients were offered four different options to watch as "Forest of Serenity", "Calm Place", "Happy Place", "Gala 360 Travel \& Relax". Forest of Serenity is a nature video consisting of bird sounds, colorful trees and flowers, and a clear lake where fish can be seen swimming in it. Calm Place is a relaxing video where cycles are shown 24 hours a day, where a person finds himself by the lake in the forest in snowy, rainy sunny weather. In Happy Place, one finds himself in a virtual camp environment where natural events such as dynamically changing weather, day-night cycles, and falling stars are experienced. Gala 360 Travel \& Relax is a Paris-Notre Dame museum tour video.
