Brief summary
This randomized controlled study aims to examine the effects of using virtual reality glasses and white noise during peripheral intravenous catheterization on pain, anxiety, and satisfaction in adult patients. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of three groups: virtual reality, white noise, or control. Pain and anxiety levels will be assessed using standardized scales immediately after the procedure, and satisfaction will be evaluated following the intervention. The study aims to determine whether these non-pharmacological methods can reduce pain and anxiety and increase patient satisfaction during intravenous catheterization.
Interventions
BEHAVIORALVirtual Reality Glasses
Participants in this group will wear virtual reality glasses displaying calming nature scenes accompanied by ambient sounds during peripheral intravenous catheterization. The intervention will begin three minutes before the procedure and continue until completion. This visual distraction technique is intended to reduce pain perception and anxiety levels and to increase patient satisfaction during the procedure.
BEHAVIORALWhite Noise (Rain Sound)
Participants will listen to natural white noise, specifically the sound of rain, through headphones during peripheral intravenous catheterization. The sound will begin three minutes before the procedure and continue until completion. This auditory distraction technique is intended to reduce pain perception and anxiety levels and to increase patient satisfaction during the procedure.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| ain intensity during peripheral intravenous catheterization | Immediately after peripheral intravenous catheterization | Pain intensity will be measured using a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst possible pain) immediately after the procedure. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Anxiety level during peripheral intravenous catheterization | Three minutes before and immediately after the peripheral intravenous catheterization | Anxiety will be assessed using the State Anxiety Inventory-Short Form (STAIS-S). The scale measures temporary anxiety levels. Scores range from 5 to 20, with higher scores indicating higher (worse) anxiety. Measurements will be performed twice: three minutes before the intervention and immediately after the procedure is completed. |
| Patient satisfaction related to peripheral intravenous catheterization | Three minutes before and immediately after the peripheral intravenous catheterization | Patient satisfaction will be assessed using a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) ranging from 0 (not satisfied at all) to 10 (extremely satisfied). Measurements will be performed twice: three minutes before the procedure and immediately after the catheterization is completed. Higher scores indicate greater satisfaction. |
