The Effect of Virtual Reality on Patient Outcome

NCT07138430 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 64

Summary

This study explores the impact of virtual reality (VR) interventions on patient outcomes during coronary angiography procedures. It evaluates the effectiveness of VR in reducing patient anxiety, enhancing comfort, and improving overall satisfaction. The findings suggest that the use of VR as a non-pharmacological support tool can positively influence patients' emotional states, reduce perceived stress levels, and potentially improve cooperation during the procedure. These results highlight the potential of immersive technologies to support patient-centered care in interventional cardiology settings.

Conditions

  • Virtual Reality
  • Coronary Angiography (CAG)

Interventions

OTHER

intervention group

In this study, patients in the intervention group were informed about the coronary angiography procedure and the virtual reality application. After completing the "Patient Identifier Form," the "Visual Analog Scale," and the "State Anxiety Inventory" 20 minutes before the procedure, the patients were placed in the supine position in the procedure room to prepare for the procedure. Two minutes before the coronary angiography, the patients were fitted with virtual reality headsets, and throughout the procedure, they listened to images of nature, forests, and riverside areas, along with accompanying relaxing music. Twenty minutes after the procedure, the patients' pain, anxiety, and satisfaction levels were re-evaluated using the scales. One week after discharge, the patients were evaluated in the cardiology outpatient clinic for pain, hematoma, and edema in the femoral region, and the "Visual Analog Scale" was administered again.

OTHER

standard care and treatment.

The pre-procedure preparations for patients in the control group were similar to those in the intervention group. Patients in this group received no other interventions during the coronary angiography procedure other than standard care and treatment. Control group patients completed the VAS and anxiety scale 20 minutes after the procedure. Post-discharge procedures for the control group were identical to those for the intervention group.
