Brief summary
Abstract The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of virtual reality application on pain, anxiety and vital signs during the procedure. This randomized controlled study included 110 hernia patients who underwent spinal anesthesia in the General Surgery Operating Room of a hospital in the western region of Turkey. Patients were randomly assigned to the experimental group or the control group. Patients in the experimental group (n=55) were shown virtual reality goggles and a music-enhanced video for 20 minutes during the surgical procedure. Patients in the control group (n=55) received standard nursing care. Patients in both groups were evaluated using VAS, State and Trait Anxiety Inventory, and Life Findings Monitoring Form.

Interventions
PROCEDUREVirtual Reality glasses
In the study, the patients in the intervention group were fitted with VR goggles by the researcher immediately after the spinal anesthesia was administered by the researcher during the operation in hernia patients who received spinal anesthesia for the study, when the patient was placed on the operating table and given the operating position, just before the surgical incision started. The procedures were performed without interfering with anesthesia and general operating room functioning. When the surgical incision was to be made, videos were started to be watched from the VR glasses simultaneously. During the 20 minute procedure, the licensed product Relax with Nature with music background with virtual reality glasses (Bobo VR Z4 Binocular Glasses and 5.7 inch 1440x2560 pixel screen resolution display unit, China) was watched with virtual reality application. Patients were shown videos of lakes, forests, waterfalls, rivers and beaches. In the studies, it was stated that these videos

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| pain level | preoperative and intraoperative: Two time | Patients' pain intensity was assessed intraoperatively and postoperatively using the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS). Scale scores range from 0-10. A high score indicates an increase in the patient's pain. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Anxiety Level | preoperative and intraoperative: two times | Anxiety scores of the patients before and after surgery were determined using the 'State-Trait Anxiety Inventory' prepared by Spielberger et al. The total score of the scale ranges between 20-80. A total score above 60 indicates severe anxiety. a high score on the scale in the study indicates that the patient's anxiety during and after the procedure is elevated. |
