Summary

This research was conducted to determine the effect of VR on the pain, anxiety, and fear levels experienced by patients during burn dressing. The experimental (VR group) (n=33) and the control group (n=32) were determined using the simple randomization method for the children participating in the study (n=65).

Conditions

  • Fear and Anxiety

Interventions

DEVICE

wearing virtual reality headsets

When the patient adapted to the headset and started to play games, he was taken to the dressing room with the VR headset and the application continued until the process was completed. Before starting the study, a pilot study was conducted to determine the time to wear headsets in ten children. It was observed that the children who were taken to the dressing room without wearing VR headsets refused to wear it. In order to prevent the child from experiencing anxiety in the dressing room, the child was put on VR headset in the patient room and then taken to the dressing room. After the procedure was completed, the VR headset was removed and the patient's oxygen saturation and heart rate were recorded on the "Application Registration Form." The patients were asked regarding the pain and anxiety levels felt during dressing before and after the procedure and marked on the Wong Baker Scale, State-Trait Anxiety Inventory for Children and Children's Fear Scale.
