Summary

This study aimed to determine the effects of virtual reality on procedural pain, distress and comfort levels during cannulation in hemodialysis patients.

Conditions

  • Hemodialysis, Virtual Reality

Interventions

DEVICE

Virtual Reality

The intervention utilized VR-SHINECON and headsets, which were cleaned with alcohol-based disinfectant wipes before use for each patient (Figure 1). Patients in the intervention group were offered a choice of various nature, forest, and seaside walk videos with thematic music. The VR intervention commenced approximately three minutes before the cannulation procedure (immediately following the baseline assessment) and continued until the procedure was complete (approx. 5-10 minutes).
