Brief Summary:
Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy is an invasive procedure used to diagnose and treat pathologies in the gastrointestinal mucosa. Since it is an invasive procedure, it can cause anxiety in patients before and pain during the procedure. Virtual reality glasses are an effective method used to reduce the pain and anxiety levels of patients during painful procedures. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of virtual reality glasses on pain, anxiety, and comfort in patients undergoing upper gastrointestinal endoscopy without sedation.
Detailed Description:
This single-center randomized controlled parallel group study was conducted with 60 patients who underwent upper gastrointestinal endoscopy at the Endoscopy Unit of a training and research hospital in Istanbul. Patients in the virtual reality glasses group (n=30) watched videos of their preferred relaxing nature settings or videos without any violent content during the procedure. Patients in the control group (n=30) received no intervention. Data were collected using the Patient Information Form, Visual Analog Scale (for pain and comfort) and State Anxiety Inventory. Pain, comfort and anxiety levels of patients were assessed five minutes before and five minutes after the procedure.
