Summary

This study will be conducted to investigate the effects of a three-dimensional lemon video shown to intensive care patients undergoing colorectal surgery on thirst perception and thirst-related discomfort. The study will be conducted as a randomized controlled, single-blind experimental design. The universe of this study, which will be conducted in the General Surgery Intensive Care Unit of the Necmettin Erbakan University Medical Faculty Hospital, will consist of volunteer patients who will be admitted to the intensive care unit. The sample of the study will consist of 70 patients. In the study, patients will be divided into two groups as virtual reality glasses and control groups. The virtual reality glasses group will be shown a three-dimensional lemon video. Standard care will be provided to patients in the control group. Patients will be assigned to the groups using the block randomization method. Randomization will be performed using a random number table in a computer environment (www.random.org). Research data will be collected using the Descriptive Characteristics Form, Numerical Rating Scale, and Surgical Period Thirst-Related Discomfort Scale (CDSBRÖ). Ethics committee approval and institutional permission will be obtained before collecting research data. Appropriate statistical tests will be used in the evaluation of the data.

Conditions

• Thirst in Intensive Care Unit (ICU) Practice

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Three-dimensional video	Patients who meet the criteria for inclusion in the study will be randomly assigned to intervention and control groups. The intervention group will be shown a 3D lemon video with virtual reality glasses. The video will be created by a company that shoots 3D videos. Opinions of three experts will be obtained for the suitability of the video. The video will be shown to patients for 5 minutes. In order to control the effects that may arise from the practitioner during the study, the virtual reality glasses application will be applied to all patients by the same clinic nurse. The control group will not receive any intervention and will receive standard care. Data collection forms will be given to the patient by the researcher and will be collected after the patient fills them out.
