Summary

The aim of this study is to determine the effect of virtual reality glasses and ball squeezing method used during peripheral intravenous catheter placement on pain and anxiety.The hypotheses of this research are that virtual reality glasses and a stress ball reduces pain and anxiety.

Detailed description

This study was designed as a pretest-posttest regular parallel group, randomized controlled experimental. The research will be carried out in the general surgery clinic of Necmettin Erbakan University Meram Medical Faculty Hospital. Patients will be randomly assigned to three groups: ball squeezing (37), virtual reality glasses (37) and control group (37). For Virtual Reality Glasses Group: The video containing the nature walk will be watched by virtual reality. 3 minutes after the individual starts watching the video, the IV catheter insertion attempt will be performed while continuing to watch the video. For Ball Squeezing Group: Patients will be given a ball and instructed to tighten and loosen with their free hand during intravenöz catheter placement. The intravenöz catheter insertion attempt will be made while the patient continues to squeeze the ball. For Control Group: No application will be made during intravenous catheter placement in the control group.The primary outcome of this study was to determine the patients' pain scores during the peripheral venous cannula insertion process.The secondary outcomes of the study were to determine the patients' anxiety levels.
