Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• Socio-Demographic Data Collection Form

  Pregnant Introductory Information Form is a questionnaire prepared by researchers using the literature.

  in active phase on labor (4 cm vaginal dilatation)

• State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI)-Questionnaire

  State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI)-Questionnaire \[ Time Frame: up to one hour \] STAI was used to measure the anxiety level of pregnant women. It was developed by Spielberger et al. (Spielberger et al., 1970) and Öner and Le Compte conducted a Turkish validity and reliability study of the scale (Öner \& LeCompte, 1983). In the scale, individuals are provided to express their feelings with 40 expressions. With the state anxiety scale, it is possible to determine how the individual feels at the moment and in the conditions, and with the trait anxiety scale, how he feels outside of the current situation and conditions. The scale is a 4-point Likert type.The last score obtained shows the anxiety level of the individual. High scores from the scale indicate an increased level of anxiety, low scores indicate a decrease.

• Visual Analog Scale-Pain (VAS-P)

  The VAS-P, which is used to evaluate the severity of pain, is a 10 cm long horizontally or vertically drawn ruler, starting with "No pain (0)" and ending with "Unbearable pain (10)". The woman is asked to show the point on this line that corresponds to the intensity of pain she feels. The distance between the marked point and the starting end of the line (0=no pain) is measured in centimeters and the numerical value found shows the severity of the patient's pain (Hayes and Patterson 1921). VAS-P is accepted as a safe, valid and usable measurement tool in repeated measurements. In this study, horizontally prepared VAS-P was used to assess pain intensity.

Interventions

virtual reality glasses OTHER

OculusQuest 2 128GB brand virtual reality glasses will be used in our research. OculusQuest 2 128GB is the original all-in-one gaming system for virtual reality. It can only be used as desired with the VR headset and controllers. It adapts to its environment. In this way, it can be played standing and sitting in small and large areas. When glasses will be used on another pregnant women within the scope of COVID-19 measures, disinfection will be provided with 'DiverseyOxivir Plus (hydrogen peroxide)' surface disinfectant. Before the episiotomy repair, the video glasses will be opened, the video will be adjusted to suit the woman. In order for the repair method to be the same for all women, It will be planned to use absorbable, synthetic, braided, sterile surgical thread produced from 1-0 polyglactin.

Model Details: Sample size G-power 3.1.9.7. program (Faul et al 2007, Faul et al 2009). Shourab et al. anxiety score average in the study; It was found to be 24.9±1.9 in the intervention group and 21.2±1.1 in the control group. In the light of this study, 0.897 effect size, 0.95 power, 0.05 alpha level and bidirectional hypothesis options were selected in the program, and the number of participants for each group was 34 (Shourab et al 2016). The pregnant women who came to the hospital will evaluate in terms of sample criteria and randomized sampling will divide into two groups. In order to ensure randomization in the study, a random numbers table was created by dividing them into two groups over the number determined on the site https://www.random.org/. Pregnant women will be assigned to groups according to the randomization scheme. Considering that there may be data loss, 20% more was determined and it was planned to study with 82 (41 intervention, 41 control) pregnant women.
