Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Pain evaluated using the Visual Analog Scale

    The patient marks a value between 1 and 10 on the Visual Analog Scale (VAS). As the value increases, the severity of pain increases.

    Change from before implementation, immediately after the procedure and after 10 minutes of practice (Virtual Reality Headset Glasses)

Secondary Outcomes (4)

  • Blood pressure

    Change from before implementation, immediately after the procedure and after 10 minutes of practice (Virtual Reality Headset Glasses)

  • Heart rate

    Change from before implementation, immediately after the procedure and after 10 minutes of practice (Virtual Reality Headset Glasses)

  • respiratory rate

    Change from before implementation, immediately after the procedure and after 10 minutes of practice (Virtual Reality Headset Glasses)

  • peripheral oxygen saturation

    Change from before implementation, immediately after the procedure and after 10 minutes of practice (Virtual Reality Headset Glasses)

Study Arms (2)

Virtual Reality Glasses Group

EXPERIMENTAL

The patients in the intervention group were shown a video with virtual reality glasses for an average of 5 minutes, 2 minutes before the start of the AVF cannulation procedure and 3 minutes throughout the procedure. After the AVF cannulation procedure was completed and 10 minutes later, the VAS and Hemodynamic Variables Follow-up Form were reapplied, and the 2nd and 3rd measurements were obtained. Patients' satisfaction was measured with VAS 10 minutes after the procedure. During the application of virtual reality glasses, a screen was pulled between the patients in the intervention and control groups so that there would be no interaction.

Other: Study Group

Control group

NO INTERVENTION

Without any application to the patients in the control group, the AVF cannulation procedure before HD was performed with the constant site-area puncture technique used by the clinic (after the patient was placed in the fowler position, the arterial needle was 3 cm away from the anastomosis at an angle of 20°-45° towards the distal, and the venous needle was from the arterial needle. 3-5 cm more proximal, again at an angle of 20°-45°) was performed by the HD nurse. The 1st, 2nd and 3rd measurements were obtained as in the intervention group.

Interventions

The patients in the intervention group were shown a video with virtual reality glasses for an average of 5 minutes, 2 minutes before the start of the AVF cannulation procedure and 3 minutes throughout the procedure.

Masking Details
According to the randomization table, the information showing the patients included in the research sample is assigned to the A and B groups will be put in an opaque envelope. This envelope will be kept by the coordinator researcher (DL) and when the researcher (HŞ) goes to the patient for application, after filling out the "Informed Voluntary Consent Form", he will open the envelope and learn which group is in which group. Due to the nature of the study, patients and the researcher (HŞ) will not be blinded, since abdominal massage will be applied only to the patients included in the study. When the research is completed, the data will be transferred to the computer environment by a statistician who does not know the A and B groups, and the data will be analyzed by a statistician independent of the research and the findings will be reported. Thus, the data analysis and statistics phase will be blind to group assignment.
