Summary

The study was planned as a prospective, two-arm (1:1) randomized controlled experimental study to determine the effect of virtual reality applied during colposcopic biopsy on pain and anxiety. The research hypothesis of the research are as follows; H1a: There is a difference between the pain levels of the virtual reality group and the control group after colposcopic biopsy.

H1b: There is a difference between the anxiety levels of the virtual reality group and the control group after colposcopic biopsy.

  • Pain and Anxiety

Interventions

Virtual reality (in experimental group)

Virtual reality application is performed with virtual reality glasses. Virtual reality glasses are a simulation model that provides participants with the opportunity to communicate with a dynamic environment created by computers and gives them a sense of reality. Virtual reality glasses, which have a mechanism compatible with smart phones, allow videos downloaded to mobile phones or watched directly via the internet to be viewed at a 360-degree angle. The two lenses on the device provide panoramic viewing by dividing the image into two equal parts. The bands on the front of the device that fits the face are flexible and prevent the device from slipping from the face. The buckles on the back are adjustable and provide ease of use. Thanks to the proximity sensor on the device, images can be zoomed in and out to obtain a clearer image. Thanks to the device holder on the sides, the phone can be easily placed and removed from the device. Again, videos can be advanced or changed with the tou
