Brief Summary

When the literature is examined, it is seen that virtual reality glasses are used during medical procedures, have an anxiety-lowering effect and have a reducing effect on the perception of fatigue (20, 7, 10, 11). On the other hand, no study has been found in the literature on the application of virtual glasses to pregnant women who underwent NST. However, in line with the results of the study on virtual glasses, it is thought that the application of virtual glasses will also have a positive effect on the Reactive (Negative) Non-Stress Test result by reducing the anxiety level of pregnant women and increasing fetal movement and fetal cup speed in pregnant women with NST. This study was planned to examine the effects of virtual reality glasses, one of the cognitive behavioral techniques, on fetal movement, fetal heart rate, maternal satisfaction and anxiety level.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• When virtual reality glasses are applied during the Non-Stress test application; (1) increase fetal heart rate and fatal heart rate?

  occurring at least 2 times within a maximum of 20 minutes, at least 15 beats/min more than basal level and lasting for 15 seconds

  through study completion, wenty minutes

• When virtual reality glasses are applied during the Non-Stress test application; (2) increases maternal satisfaction?

  The scale is a 5-point Likert-type scale consisting of 19 items including nursing care. All items of the Newcastle Nursing Care Satisfaction Scale are positive. In the scoring used to determine the degree of satisfaction, there are statements such as "Not at all Satisfied=1 point, Slightly Satisfied=2 points, Fairly Satisfied=3 points, Very Satisfied=4 points, Extremely Satisfied=5 points". The scores given to the questions of all items marked on the score evaluation scale are added together. The maximum score obtained from the scale is 95, and the minimum score is 19. Evaluation is made by converting the total score obtained from the scale to 100. The increase in the total score obtained from the scale indicates that the patients' satisfaction with nursing is high.

  through study completion, twenty minutes

• When virtual reality glasses are applied during the Non-Stress test application; Does it reduce the level of maternal anxiety?

  Scoring in the State Anxiety Scale varies between 20-80 points. A score of less than 36 is considered no anxiety, a score of 37-42 is considered mild anxiety, and a score of 42 and above is considered high anxiety.

  through study completion, twenty minutes

Study Arms (2)

Workgroup

EXPERIMENTAL

The probes will be fixed by giving the left lateral position for NST to the pregnant women in the intervention group by the researcher. After providing internet connection with a smart phone for the image, by clicking on youtube.com link, Relaxation (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H1iboKia3AQ) nature video watching virtual reality glasses will be provided. The name and surname of the pregnant woman will be written on the NST trace and the trace will be photographed. After the NST process is completed, the NST traces will be evaluated by the researchers.

Device: Virtual Reality Glasses

Control

NO INTERVENTION

Unlike the study group, only video monitoring will not be applied to the pregnant women included in the control group. Other applications will be done in the same way.
