Summary

Objective: A randomized controlled trial was designed to determine the effect of virtual reality-based education provided to patients undergoing knee arthroplasty on preoperative surgical fear, postoperative pain, and patient satisfaction.

Materials and Methods: The study was designed as a randomized controlled experimental study, with the group receiving animation-based patient education via virtual reality goggles serving as the experimental group and the group receiving routine patient education at the clinic serving as the control group. Research data will be collected using a patient characteristics form prepared by the researcher based on a literature review, a surgical fear scale, a visual analog scale, and a patient education satisfaction scale. Virtual reality glasses will be used as the application tool in the study.

Conditions

  • Knee Arthroplasty

Interventions

OTHER

education

The preparation of patient education using animation-based video methods will first involve the researcher developing a scenario based on the literature, covering the preoperative preparation process, deep breathing and coughing exercises, Respiratory Exercise Device use, pain management, potential postoperative complications, wound care, mobilization, and the rehabilitation process. After the educational content and its suitability are reviewed and approved by 5 experts and its content validity is established, it will be forwarded to a graphic design expert for the preparation of the animation. Regular feedback will be obtained throughout the video preparation process, and the work will be closely monitored. The voiceover for the animation video will be done by the researcher.
