The aim of this study is to examine the effect of using nature sounds and virtual reality during the non-stress test on fetal well-being, maternal anxiety, comfort, and satisfaction. The study sample will consist of all pregnant women admitted to the Non-Stress Test (NST) unit. A total of 150 women will be included in the sample: 50 for the virtual reality group, 50 for the nature sounds group, and 50 for the control group.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Virtual Reality

Women treated with virtual reality will be presented with videos of natural scenes (forest and sea) accompanied by nature sounds and asked to watch. The headset will be fitted before the procedure begins, and women will be instructed on how to continue watching the video while wearing the headset during the procedure.

BEHAVIORAL

Nature sounds

Women in the nature sounds group will be given the opportunity to listen to relaxing nature sounds (sea, rain, wind, river, birds) using MP3 players and headphones according to their preferences throughout the non-stress test.

BEHAVIORAL

Control

Participants in the control group received standard care (verbal information about procedure and a short written information about the procedure) and no intervention will perform.
