Summary

This study wants to see if two things-virtual reality (VR) and podcasts-can help women feel better during a medical test called colposcopy. The study looks at stress, anxiety, pain, and heartbeat. It also checks if women are happy with the test and how long the test takes.

There are three groups: one uses VR, one listens to a podcast, and one gets no extra help.

The study will include 75 women in Turkey. All women are 25 to 65 years old and need to have a colposcopy.

Some women cannot join the study-for example, if they are pregnant, cannot see or hear well, or take strong medicine for pain or stress.
