Brief summary
This study will be carried out in patients undergoing spinal anaesthesia. The effects of virtual reality and music playback on anxiety and agitation in patients will be evaluated.
Detailed description
Virtual reality is a computer technology in which a virtual environment is simulated in three dimensions. This technology isolates the individual from real life by zooming the lenses to the patient's eyes through a headset known as virtual reality glasses. Recently, with technological developments, virtual reality applications have started to take place among nursing practices as non-pharmacological approaches that support pharmacological methods in clinical settings. Various studies have revealed that virtual reality as a distraction method plays an important role in alleviating anxiety and agitation experienced by patients. Music application is an easy-to-apply and non-invasive non-pharmacological method. Music recitals give a feeling of relaxation by increasing the release of endorphin hormone in individuals and play an important role as a psychosocial intervention. Such activities reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression, improve quality of life and have positive effects on physical symptoms and general well-being. In addition, the effects of music on respiratory rate, blood pressure and heart rate are also observed. This study aims to evaluate the effects of virtual reality technology and music playback on anxiety, agitation and physiological parameters in patients undergoing spinal anaesthesia and to make important contributions to the literature in this context.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Spinal Anaesthesia Anxiety and Agitation Scale | 1 year | to evaluate anxiety and agitation in individuals under spinal anaesthesia. Spinal Anaesthesia Anxiety Scale consists of two sub-dimensions called 'Intellectual Experience' and 'Sensory Experience' and 14 questions. The Sensory Experience sub-dimension includes eight questions and the Intellectual Experience sub-dimension includes six questions. The Spinal Anaesthesia Anxiety Scale is a 5-point Likert-type scale (Strongly Agree, Agree, Undecided, Disagree, Strongly Disagree). Spinal Anaesthesia Agitation Scale consisted of 9 questions and three sub-dimensions as 'Verbal Non-Aggressive Behaviours', 'Aggressive Behaviours towards Personnel' and 'Aggressive Behaviours towards Self'. |
