Brief Summary

It is known that being in natural environments helps increase a person's well-being. It may not always be easy for individuals with neurological diseases to reach these environments due to their mobility limitations, other symptoms and other diseases. Virtual reality technology offers us unlimited opportunities to create these environments digitally and safely. In this research, virtual nature videos will be watched using virtual reality glasses. This process will be done in the experimental group. In the control group, no action will be taken. The scores of the two groups will be compared. The purpose of this presentation is to investigate whether virtual reality affects the mental well-being of beginners and the limits of sleep.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Pittsburgh sleep quality index score

  The scale evaluates sleep quality over the past 1 month. The first 19 questions are answered by the patient himself, and the last 5 questions are answered by the patient's relative or bed partner, making a total of 24 questions. The first 18 questions answered by the patient himself (self-assessment) are included in the scoring. The remaining 6 questions are used only for clinical information. A score higher than five indicates that sleep quality is significantly inadequate. The scores obtained after 6 weeks of proces will be analyzed. If sufficient power is not achieved as a result of the analysis, the number of samples will be increased.

  6 week

• Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-Being Scale score

  The scale covers subjective and psychological well-being states. The scale consists of 14 questions of five-point Likert type. There are no sub-dimensions in the scale. Participants answer the questions as 1: I completely disagree, 2: I disagree, 3: I somewhat agree, 4: I agree and 5: I completely agree. The lowest score from the scale is 14 and the highest score is 70. There are no reverse items in the scale. As the score obtained from the scale increases, the level of mental well-being also increases.The scores obtained after 6 weeks of proces will be analyzed. If sufficient power is not achieved as a result of the analysis, the number of samples will be increased.
