Summary

Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy is an invasive procedure used to diagnose and treat pathologies in the gastrointestinal mucosa. Since it is an invasive procedure, it can cause anxiety in patients before and pain during the procedure. Virtual reality glasses are an effective method used to reduce the pain and anxiety levels of patients during painful procedures. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of virtual reality glasses on pain, anxiety, and comfort in patients undergoing upper gastrointestinal endoscopy without sedation.

DEVICE

Virtual Reality Glasses

Virtual reality is a method that can be used to distract and prepare patients for medical procedures. Virtual reality is a computer-generated environment where three-dimensional interaction is possible. It is an advanced technology that allows an individual to move into a virtual environment and focus their attention on other thoughts, allowing them to pay less attention to pain and anxiety. In this study, the virtual reality glasses were put on for the intervention group five minutes before the procedure began and were kept on until the procedure was completed. The virtual reality glasses showed the patient-selected images of a relaxing nature setting or images without any violent content.
