Summary

This randomized controlled trial was conducted to evaluate the effect of virtual reality-based breathing yoga applied before chest tube removal on pain and anxiety in patients after cardiac surgery. A total of 52 patients with chest tubes were randomly assigned to an intervention group (n=26) or a control group (n=26). Patients in the intervention group watched breathing yoga videos through virtual reality glasses for 15-20 minutes before chest tube removal, while patients in the control group received standard care. Pain was assessed using the Visual Analog Scale, and anxiety was assessed using the Spielberger State Anxiety Inventory. Pain and anxiety levels were evaluated before and after chest tube removal.
