About this study

Official title: The Effect of Virtual Rain Forest and Glass Waterfall on Satisfaction, Comfort, Anxiety, and Vital Signs Undergoing Colonoscopy

Background: Today, colonoscopy is widely used in many diseases, especially in the screening and diagnosis of colorectal cancers. Colonoscopy is considered a procedure that disturbs the patient's comfort because it is a very invasive and painful procedure. Along with physical discomfort during the procedure, it triggers emotional disturbances such as fear, and anxiety in the patient.

Purpose: To examine the effect of virtual rain forest and glass waterfall on satisfaction, comfort, anxiety, and vital signs before colonoscopy Method: The population of the study consists of all patients who applied to Mardin Education and Research Hospital, Department of General Surgery, Endoscopy Unit and were scheduled for colonoscopy. The sample will be represented by 135 patients whose colonoscopy procedure is planned between the specified dates and who meet the criteria for inclusion in the sample. In calculating the sample of the study, power analysis was performed and it was found the effect size of 0.40, 95% power and 0.01% margin of error for this study, that a total of 135 individuals for the three groups and at 60 individuals for each group. G*Power, version 3.0.10 was used for statistical power analysis. The study group of 93 people to participate in the study will be divided into three equal groups in accordance with the random numbers table obtained the computer- based Research Randomizer program. Before the arthroscopy procedure, the patients included in the study will be randomly divided into three groups: 45 rain forest video VR group, 45 glass waterfall group and 45 control group. All participants in the study will first fill out a patient identification form containing patient demographic information.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Patient Information Form

    This form, which will be created by the researcher; Patients' age, gender, education level, marital status, employment status, income level, chronic disease status, previous surgery, complaints about coming to the hospital, having knowledge about colonoscopy, whether they would prefer the current method if they need to have colonoscopy again, It consists of a total of 14 questions questioning the use of additional sedation and painkillers during the procedure

    Measured: the fundamental characteristics of the patients will be filled in 40 minutes before the colonoscopy procedure

  2. Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)

    This scale developed by Price (1983) will be used in the research to determine the level of tolerance, comfort and satisfaction. It is a scale in which the distance between the two ends with a minimum value of 0 on one end and a maximum value of 10 on the other end is measured with a 10 cm ruler. In this context; The patient is explained that there are two endpoints and that he is free to mark any place between them that fits the severity of his pain.

    The distance between the beginning of "no comfort, tolerance and satisfaction" and this point marked by the patient is measured and recorded in centimeters. It has been shown that the VAS is a valid tool for the measurement of psychological and health variables such as pain and satisfaction, which is widely used in clinical studies

    Measured: Change from Baseline Visual Analogue Scale in 50 minutes

  3. State and Trait Anxiety Scale (STAI)

    It is a self-assessment questionnaire developed by Spielberger et al. and consists of short assessments. The STAI includes 40 four-point Likert-type items ranging from "None" to "Completely". The validity and reliability of the STAI in Turkey were established by Öner and Le Compte. The STAI includes two separate scales, the State Anxiety Score (SAS) and the Trait Anxiety Score (TAS). The SAS requires the person to describe how they feel at a certain moment and under certain conditions and to respond by taking into account their feelings about the situation they are in. On the other hand, the TAS requires the person to describe how they usually feel. Higher scores indicate increased anxiety level. In the Turkish validity and reliability study, Cronbach's alpha reliability coefficients were between 0.83 and 0.87 for the TAS and between 0.94 and 0.96 for the SAS.

    Measured: Change from Baseline The State and Trait Anxiety Scale in 50 minutes

  4. The Patient Observation Form

    This form will be created by the researcher based on the literature review, the vital signs (pulse (min), respiratory rate (min), systolic blood pressure (mmHg), diastolic blood pressure (mmHg), and oxygen saturation values (%)) of the patients before and after the procedure will be recorded the form. Researcher will has a automatic blood pressure monitor and a probe device for recording vital signs in the endoscopy unit. While the patients' vital signs will being taken, a fully automatic blood pressure monitor will be used to measure blood pressure and pulse. To measure the respiratory rate, the patient placed his hand on his chest and his chest movements will be counted and recorded for one minute. Oxygen saturation level will be measured from the index finger with a probe device.Data will be collected by recording all vital measurement values on a single form. The form will similar to forms commonly used in nursing research for patient vital signs.

    Measured: Change from Baseline The Patient Observation Form in 50 minutes

  5. Pulse rate before colonoscopy procedure

    60 to 100 beats per minute is normal. It will be recorded 40 minutes (pretest) and 10 minutes (posttest) before the gastroscopy procedure

    Measured: Change from Baseline Pulse rate in 50 minutes

  6. Respiratory rate before colonoscopy procedure

    12 to 18 breaths per minute is normal. It will be recorded 40 minutes (pretest) and 10 minutes (posttest) before the gastroscopy procedure

    Measured: Change from Baseline Respiratory rate in 50 minutes

  7. Systolic and diastolic blood pressure before colonoscopy procedure

    90/60 mm Hg to 120/80 mm Hg is normal. It will be recorded 40 minutes (pretest) and 10 minutes (posttest) before the gastroscopy procedure

    Measured: Change from Baseline Systolic and diastolic blood pressure in 50 minutes

  8. Oxygen saturation values before colonoscopy procedure

    Normal oxygen saturation usually ranges from 95 to 100%. It will be recorded 40 minutes (pretest) and 10 minutes (posttest) before the gastroscopy procedure

    Measured: Change from Baseline Oxygen saturation values in 50 minutes
