Detailed description

Objective: In this study, the effect of virtual reality application used during upper gastrointestinal endoscopy on pain, anxiety and vital signs will be investigated. The research will be conducted as a mixed methods research including quantitative and qualitative methods. The exploratory sequence mixed design model, one of the mixed method designs, will be used in the research. The research was carried out in the endoscopy unit of a university hospital in Van between November 2022 and March 2023. This research, in which an exploratory sequential mixed design was used, consists of two stages. In the research, the quantitative phase, in which a pretest-posttest design, randomized controlled, experimental method was used, was completed with 75 patients, and the qualitative phase, in which the phenomenological/phenomenological design was used, was completed with 19 patients. Patient introduction form, state anxiety scale, pain visual comparison scale, patient follow-up form and semi-structured interview form were used to collect data. IBM SPSS V23 program (quantitative) and inductive qualitative content analysis (qualitative) were used to analyze the data.

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Experimental group	In recent years, virtual reality has been widely used as a distraction practice in clinical medical care to relieve pain. Virtual reality is a method of viewing computer images to isolate the individual from real life for a while. Virtual reality glasses, consisting of a head-mounted display and glasses connected to a mobile phone, is a computer technology that creates a 3D environment. The virtual reality application, which was originally designed for entertainment purposes, started to be used in the medical field to reduce pain during invasive procedures in parallel with the developments in computer technologies. It is preferred in clinical practice as an easily accessible, non-invasive and inexpensive method.
