Summary

This study was conducted with a randomized controlled experimental design to determine the effect of virtual reality headset on children's fear and anxiety during vaccinations.

Research Hypotheses:

Hypothesis 0a (H0a): There is no difference in fear scores between the experimental group in which virtual reality glasses were used during vaccination administration and the control group.

Hypothesis 1a (H1a): There is a difference in fear scores between the experimental group in which virtual reality glasses were used during vaccination administration and the control group.

Hypothesis 0b (H0b): There is no difference in anxiety scores between the experimental group in which virtual reality glasses were used during vaccination administration and the control group.

Hypothesis 1b (H1b): There is a difference in anxiety scores experienced between the experimental group in which virtual reality glasses were used during vaccination administration and the control group.

Conditions

  • Anxiety and Fear

Interventions

OTHER

Use of virtual reality glasses during vaccination applications in children

To the experimental group: Before the vaccine administration; * Children's Fear Scale, and Children's Anxiety Scale-State Scale was applied to the student. * Cartoons and virtual reality glasses that the student wanted to watch were prepared. * While the nurse was preparing the vaccines, the student was put on virtual reality glasses and the distance settings of the lenses were adjusted and the cartoons he chose to watch during the vaccination applications started to be shown. Since virtual reality glasses can cause anxiety attacks manifested by nausea in some children, this was also tested beforehand. It took about two minutes to administer the vaccine and watch cartoons. Those applied after the vaccine administration; \- Children's Fear Scale, and Children's Anxiety Scale-State Scale was applied to the student.
