Effect of Nursing Interventions Using Roy Adaptation Model with Virtual Reality on Social Anxiety in Youth

Summary

The study was conducted to determine the effect of nursing practices based on the RAM integrated with VR on the social anxiety level of young people.The main questions it aims to answer are:

H1: "Nursing practices based on the Roy Adaptation Model integrated with virtual reality are effective in reducing the level of social anxiety in young people." H2: "Nursing practices based on the Roy Adaptation Model integrated with virtual reality are effective on the level of life satisfaction, independent of anxiety level and as a predictor of social anxiety"

This single-blinded randomized controlled study utilized a pretest-posttest control group and single-blinded randomized control group, preintervention pretest, postintervention posttest, and follow-up test design. The study population consisted of students from a foreign language preparatory class at a university. In this context, the Anxiety Subdimension of the LSCQ was calculated for 785 preparatory class students aged 18-26. A total of 242 students scoring 30 and above on the Anxiety Subdimension of the LSCQ were reached. The research was completed with a sample of 72 students who met the inclusion criteria within this target group. Individuals who do not participate in two or more of the six interviews will be excluded from the study. The study\'s experimental design was organized according to the CONSORT guidelines

Nursing Practices Based On Roy Adaptation Model Integrated With Virtual Reality

After the research groups were formed, a six-session interview programme was created for the participants included in the experimental group (Table...). In the sessions, nursing and psychiatric nursing interventions (psychoeducation, relaxation, awareness, effective coping, cognitive restructuring) based on the Roy Adaptation Model were carried out for the negative situations caused by anxiety and anxiety experienced by individuals. Subjective goals were determined for adaptive or maladaptive behaviour, attitude and thought patterns caused by anxiety-causing stimulus(s) and appropriate nursing interventions from the Nursing Interventions Classification System (NIC) were applied for these goals.Virtual reality-based intervention was effectively used as an important intervention tool in the implementation of the interventions and in the evaluation of the implemented interventions in four sessions of a total of six sessions.
