Brief summary
Resuscitation patients are subject to constant stress of multifactorial origin: their state of health, the noisy environment of critical care, the multiple examinations and care provided, lack of sleep, stress from their loved ones... It is estimated that 60% of resuscitation patients have experienced stress and 40% have been anxious during their hospitalization in intensive care. This permanent anxiety is punctuated by stress peaks, particularly at the time of invasive procedures frequently performed in the ICU. This stress is said to have a negative impact on patients' ability to recover and on their length of stay in the ICU. What's more, these anxious symptoms can persist after hospitalization, leading to post-traumatic stress disorder. It therefore seems appropriate to find solutions aimed at reducing this stress. Medication is often used to reduce stress and anxiety. Although effective, these molecules have undesirable side-effects and can also hinder the patient's recovery. Alternative methods are already being studied as replacement or supplementary therapies to drugs. These include music therapy, aromatherapy, hypnosis and virtual reality. Virtual reality has been used on resuscitation patients to improve tolerance to mechanical ventilation and to the resuscitation environment in general.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Show that the use of RELAX glasses reduces anxiety in patients undergoing invasive care in the intensive care unit, postoperative intensive care unit and continuous care unit (experimental group), compared with patients undergoing usual care without R | Patient anxiety will be assessed by the investigator immediately after the treatment has been explained. As soon as the invasive treatment has been completed, regardless of the randomization group, the investigator will reassess the patient's anxiety | The difference in anxiety between the 2 groups will be measured using a visual analog anxiety scale (A mark of 0 indicates 'no anxiety', a mark of 10 indicates 'maximum anxiety) |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| To compare the evolution of patient pain during invasive care in intensive care, post-operative intensive care and continuous monitoring between the experimental group and the control group | Patient's pain will be assessed by the investigator immediately after the treatment has been explained. As soon as the invasive treatment has been completed, regardless of the randomization group, the investigator will reassess the patient's pain | Change in pain level will be measured by the difference between before and after invasive care. Pain level will be measured using a visual analog scale (The score 0 expresses 'no pain', the score 10 reflects 'maximum imaginable pain) |
| To compare the number of placement attempts during invasive care in the ICU, post-operative intensive care and continuous monitoring, between the 2 groups | As soon as the invasive procedure has been completed, regardless of the randomization group, the investigator will also complete the document recording the number of trial(s) required to perform the invasive procedure | Number of placement attempts during invasive care |
| Compare overall patient satisfaction after invasive care between experimental and control groups | Patient satisfaction will be asked immediately after the invasive treatment. An envelope will be given to the patient, who will be able to rate his or her overall satisfaction on a visual analog scale, without feeling influenced by the nurse | Overall patient satisfaction will be measured by a visual analog scale (A score of 0 indicates 'not satisfied', while a score of 10 reflects 'maximum satisfaction) |
| To evaluate nursing staff satisfaction after invasive care in a patient wearing glasses | As soon as the invasive treatment has been completed, the nurse completes the satisfaction questionnary | Nurse satisfaction will be assessed by a self-assessment questionnaire after each invasive procedure (A score of 0 means that it was 'not at all difficult', while a score of 10 means that it was 'extremely difficult) |
| Evaluate the impact of patient agitation on the performance of invasive care between the 2 groups | As soon as the invasive treatment has been completed, regardless of the randomization group, the investigator also completes the patient agitation evaluation questionnary. | In the 2 groups, patient agitation during invasive care will be assessed using a questionnaire completed by the nursing staff 1. The patient has not been agitated 2. The patient was agitated but this had no impact on invasive care 3. Patient agitation was the cause of a change in invasive care 4. Patient agitation was the cause of a temporary suspension of invasive care 5. The patient's agitation is too great to consider continuing the treatment. |
