Summary

Virtual reality application, which is a non-pharmacological method, is used for different purposes in many different fields. One of the areas where virtual reality application is used is health services. Its use in the field of obstetrics is new. Virtual reality application is often in pregnancy; it is used to reduce pain, stress and anxiety levels, exercise training and train pregnant women to effectively manage their pain during childbirth. Although pregnancy is a normal physiological process, adverse situations may occur that can make every pregnancy risky. Threatened premature birth, which is called the onset of uterine contractions without cervical changes between the 20th and 37th weeks of pregnancy, is also among these risk groups. Pregnant women diagnosed with the threat of premature birth are usually treated by hospitalization. Psychological problems such as stress, fear and anxiety may develop in pregnant women who are on bed rest in the hospital. In these pregnant women, mother-infant attachment may also be adversely affected. Pregnant women who are hospitalized and taken to bed rest due to risky pregnancy need to be informed and supported by health personnel. The midwife's spending enough time with the pregnant woman, keeping in touch and meeting her needs increase satisfaction in terms of care. When the literature was examined, it was determined that pregnant women were satisfied with the virtual reality application and thus increased care satisfaction.
