Summary

This study was conducted as a randomized controlled trial to evaluate the effect of nature videos viewed through virtual reality goggles and binaural beat audio played during cystoscopy on pain, anxiety, and vital signs. The study was conducted between September 2025 and December 2025 with 60 patients who applied to the cystoscopy unit of a public hospital in Istanbul and met the inclusion criteria. Patients in the experimental group (n=30) were shown nature videos using virtual reality goggles and listened to binaural beats through headphones, while patients in the control group (n=30) received no intervention other than routine care. Research data were collected using the Patient Introduction Form, Visual Analog Scale, State Anxiety Scale, and Vital Findings Form.

It was determined that nature videos and binaural beats played through virtual reality goggles during cystoscopy reduced patients' pain and anxiety levels and positively affected their vital signs.
