Aim: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of watching a cold environment image via virtual reality on pain and anxiety related to phlebotomy procedure in volunteer blood donors. Methods: The study was conducted between June 2019 and December 2019 with 120 healthy individuals who applied for blood donation for the first time in Northern Turkey. Individuals included in the study were assigned to intervention, placebo and control groups with 40 people in each group by block randomization method. During the phlebotomy procedure, the intervention group watched a cold environment image via virtual reality, the placebo group watched a hot environment image, and the control group received standard application. "Descriptive Characteristics Form", "Visual Comparison Scale", "State and Trait Anxiety Inventory" and The CONSORT checklist were used to collect data.

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	group watching hot environment image	In this study, Sony playstation VR (Virtual Reality) glasses with LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) screen with OLED (Organic Light-Emitting Diode) technology and 1080P resolution integrated on the device were used. These glasses work integrated with the processor box. The processor box, which provides communication with the Sony playstation VR glasses, can also be connected to the computer with HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) output. Within the scope of the study, the licensed "Peaceful mountain snow" image was shown. This image includes a cold winter day. Following the completion of every VR session, the removable face pad was replaced and the goggles and headsets were wiped down with alcohol-based sanitary wipes. Preventing infection via the sharing of the technology was a paramount issue with the study patients.
