Brief summary
The aim of the study was to examine the effects of the emotional freedom technique and virtual reality glasses applied to individuals receiving hyperbaric oxygen therapy for the first time on anxiety and vital signs. The hypotheses of this research are that there is a difference between the emotional liberation technique and virtual reality glasses groups and the control group in terms of anxiety and vital signs.
Detailed description
This study was designed as a pretest-posttest regular parallel group, randomized controlled experimental. The research will be carried out in Konya City Hospital Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Unit. Patients will be randomly assigned to three groups: emotional freedom technique group (25), virtual reality glasses group (25) and control group (25). For Emotional Freedom Technique Group: The emotional freedom technique will be applied by the researcher who has received the practitioner training certificate. For Virtual Reality Glasses Group: The video containing the nature walk will be watched by virtual reality. For the Control Group: No intervention will be made in the control group. Standard care will be given. The primary result of this study is to determine the patients' anxiety scores. Secondary results of the research are to determine the patients' vital signs.

Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| State Anxiety Inventory (STAI) | It will be applied within the first 10 minutes when the patient arrives at the Hyperbaric Oxygen treatment center, 10 minutes before the treatment and 10 minutes after the treatment. | In the State Anxiety Inventory, the individual evaluates how he or she feels at the moment and according to the severity of the emotions or behaviors expressed in the items (1) never, (2) a little, (3) a lot and (4) a lot. are asked to choose one of the statements completely.

The lowest total score that can be obtained from the State Anxiety Scale is 20, and the highest total score is 80. A high score indicates a high level of anxiety, and a low score indicates a low level of anxiety. |
