Summary

The study was randomized controlled to examine the effect of virtual reality (VR) application on pain, anxiety, and vital signs associated with port catheter needle insertion. This study was conducted as a parallel-group, randomized controlled intervention study. The study was conducted with 84 cancer patients who came to Bursa Uludağ University outpatient chemotherapy unit for treatment between December 2022 and May 2023 and met the inclusion criteria. Patients undergoing port catheterization were randomly assigned to the intervention (n=42) and control (n=42) groups. During the preparation stage of the port catheter injection attempt, the intervention group was given a calming video and music concert using virtual reality glasses. In the control group, no intervention was made except the routine application.

Virtual reality application

During the preparation stage of the port catheter injection attempt, the intervention group was given a calming video and music concert using virtual reality glasses. With virtual reality glasses, patients watch three-dimensional video nature images, which we determined according to the patient's preference, accompanied by music. They put on the virtual reality glasses before the process started and removed them after the process was over.
