About this study
Official title: The Effect of Using Nature Sounds and Virtual Reality During the Non-Stress Test on Fetal Well-Being, Maternal Anxiety, Comfort, and Satisfaction
The aim of this study is to examine the effect of using nature sounds and virtual reality during the non-stress test on fetal well-being, maternal anxiety, comfort, and satisfaction. The study sample will consist of all pregnant women admitted to the Non-Stress Test (NST) unit. A total of 150 women will be included in the sample: 50 for the virtual reality group, 50 for the nature sounds group, and 50 for the control group.
Read the detailed description
Pregnancy is a multidimensional process characterized not only by physiological changes but also by the restructuring of social roles and psychological adaptation. The changes that occur during this process affect both the mother and the fetus. Increased maternal stress and anxiety may influence fetal development through hormonal mechanisms. Therefore, regular and holistic monitoring of pregnancy is important. Antenatal care is a systematic evaluation process aimed at protecting maternal and fetal health and identifying risk factors. One of the frequently used non-invasive methods for assessing fetal health is the non-stress test. It is widely used because it is easy to administer and considered safe. The test evaluates the relationship between fetal heart rate, fetal movements, and uterine contractions. A reactive result indicates that the fetus is in good condition, whereas a non-reactive result may require further evaluation. Although the non-stress test is non-invasive and painless, it generally lasts at least 20 minutes, and remaining in the same position may lead to hypotension, discomfort, and anxiety. Increased maternal anxiety may affect fetal heart rate patterns, increase false-positive rates, and result in unnecessary interventions. Therefore, non-pharmacological interventions aimed at increasing maternal comfort and reducing anxiety during the NST process are important. Nature sounds may reduce perceived stress by promoting relaxation, while virtual reality may decrease anxiety and increase satisfaction by diverting attention away from the environment. The aim of this study is to determine the effects of using nature sounds and virtual reality during the non-stress test on fetal well-being, maternal anxiety, comfort, and satisfaction. The study sample will consist of all pregnant women admitted to the Non-Stress Test (NST) unit. A total of 150 women will be included in the sample: 50 for the virtual reality group, 50 for the nature sounds group, and 50 for the control group. Personal Information Form, Non Stress Test Evaluation Form, Visual Analog Scale for Satisfaction (VAS-Satisfaction), Visual Analog Scale for Comfort (VAS-Comfort), Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) Scale, Intervention for the experimental group, the Evaluation Form (Virtual reality, Nature sounds) will be used in data collection.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Virtual RealityBehavioural
Women treated with virtual reality will be presented with videos of natural scenes (forest and sea) accompanied by nature sounds and asked to watch. The headset will be fitted before the procedure begins, and women will be instructed on how to continue watching the video while wearing the headset during the procedure.
Nature soundsBehavioural
Women in the nature sounds group will be given the opportunity to listen to relaxing nature sounds (sea, rain, wind, river, birds) using MP3 players and headphones according to their preferences throughout the non-stress test.
ControlBehavioural
Participants in the control group received standard care (verbal information about procedure and a short written information about the procedure) and no intervention will perform.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Virtual reality group | Experimental | After obtaining written informed consent from the women, data collection forms will be administered (Personal Information Form, Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory-STAI). This group will include 50 pregnant women. Following the administration of the survey form, the virtual reality headset will be introduced.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) Scale
The inventory was developed by Spielberger, Gorsuch, and Lushene in 1970. An adaptation, validity, and reliability study of the State-Trait Anxiety Scale in Turkish was conducted by Oner and Le Compte in 1983. The scale consists of two subdimensions: the state anxiety has 20 items and is used to determine what is felt at a specific moment under certain conditions, and the trait anxiety has 20 items and is used to determine what has been felt in the last 7 days. High scores from each subscale indicate a high level of anxiety. The Cronbach's a for the STAI ranges from 0.83 to 0.87
Measured: Before the non-stress test and after the procedure is completed (20 minutes after the start of the procedure)
Visual Analog Scale for Comfort (VAS-Comfort)
The Visual Analog Scale (VAS) will be used to determine the comfort levels of the participants. Developed by Price et al. in 1983 for the purpose of evaluating subjective pain, the VAS is an easy-to-apply measurement method whose validity and reliability are accepted in the international literature (Price et al., 1987; Akbay, 2026). Based on the individual's subjective evaluation, the VAS is used not only to determine the level of pain but also to evaluate subjective conditions such as fatigue and discomfort. The Visual Analog Scale (VAS) is a 10 cm long scale that can be arranged vertically or horizontally, with endpoints defined by different expressions. In this study, to evaluate the comfort levels of individuals, the leftmost end of the scale will be defined as "0 = Not comfortable at all" and the rightmost end as "10 = Very comfortable". To make the scale more understandable and applicable, vertical lines and numerical values will be used on the horizontal line.
Measured: After the non-stress test is completed (20 minutes after the start of the procedure)
Visual Analog Scale for Satisfaction (VAS-Satisfaction)
The VAS satisfaction form will be used to determine the satisfaction levels of the participants. The Visual Analog Scale (VAS) is a reliable and easily applicable measurement method with endpoints defined by different expressions, and is 10 cm long. VAS is also used to evaluate subjective states such as satisfaction. In this study, to evaluate the satisfaction levels of individuals, the leftmost end of the scale will be defined as "0 = Not satisfied at all" and the rightmost end as "10 = Very satisfied". In order to make the scale more understandable and applicable, vertical lines and numerical values will be used on the horizontal line.
Measured: After the non-stress test is completed (20 minutes after the start of the procedure)
Non Stress Test Evaluation Form
The NST Evaluation Form will be used to determine the emotional state of participants during the NST procedure and to evaluate the results of the non-stress test (NST). The form includes variables such as NST recording time, basal fetal heart rate (FHR), presence and number of accelerations and decelerations, and whether it is evaluated as reactive or non-reactive. The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development 2008 guidelines will be used to evaluate the NST results.
Measured: After the non-stress test is completed (20 minutes after the start of the procedure)
Intervention for the experimental group The Evaluation Form (Virtual reality, Nature sounds)
In this study, an intervention evaluation form prepared by the researcher will be used for the virtual reality and nature sounds groups. Separate intervention evaluation forms will be used for the nature sounds and virtual reality groups. The form includes questions about the participants' emotional state during the intervention, whether they would like to use it again, and whether they would recommend the application to other pregnant women.
Measured: After the non-stress test is completed (20 minutes after the start of the procedure)
