Brief summary

The effect of musical video with virtual reality goggles on patient's anxiety and comfort during ureteroscopy

Detailed description

Ureteroscopy is a surgical procedure used diagnostically or therapeutically in urology. Eliminating the patient's fear, anxiety and worry in the preoperative period is necessary to reduce the surgical stress response seen during the surgical procedure and to ensure normal physiological functions after surgery, early mobilization and patient comfort. When the patient is taken into surgery, reassuring and gentle communication should be established to reduce the patient's anxiety. For this reason, it is important that the surgical team members feel that they are with the patient and make the patient feel that they are with them. Music is an art that organizes sounds in a way that provides a feeling of happiness. It can help the patient cope with all aspects of the disease; it improves physical, emotional, social and spiritual well-being and can help control and reduce pain and/or agitation. studies examining the relationship between music and depression and anxiety, it was found that depression and anxiety scores were significantly lower in the music therapy group compared to the control group. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of virtual reality goggles and musical video playback on the patient's operating room anxiety and comfort during ureteroscopy. The hypotheses that there is no difference in anxiety and comfort levels in the intervention and control groups after music intervention will be tested.

Interventions

OTHERMusical video demonstration with virtual reality glasses

The research was explained to the patient before the operation. The patient was started to watch a video with music with virtual glasses at the 5th minute of the operation and watched it throughout the operation. Two hours after the surgery, the patient who underwent ureteroscopy completed the Data Collection Form, Surgery Specific Anxiety Scale and Perianesthesia Comfort Scale.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Determination of the patient's anxiety levels after the interventiontwo hours after surgeryThe Surgery-Specific Anxiety Scale is a five Likert-type scale assessing of anxiety. The reference range of the scale is 0-50, with a higher score reflecting fear of pain, fear of dying during surgery, and fear of postoperative complications and limitations. Cronbach's alpha value of the scale is 0.79.
Determination of the patient's comfort levels after the interventiontwo hours after surgeryThe Perianesthesia Comfort Scale is based on a theoretical framework of three levels and four dimensions. It evaluates comfort needs and the achievement of expected comfort improvements. Scale scoring is 24-144 (min-max). Cronbach's alpha: 0.83. A low score indicates poor comfort and a high score indicates good comfort.
