Brief Summary

The aim of the study was to examine the effects of the emotional freedom technique and virtual reality glasses applied to individuals receiving hyperbaric oxygen therapy for the first time on anxiety and vital signs. The hypotheses of this research are that there is a difference between the emotional liberation technique and virtual reality glasses groups and the control group in terms of anxiety and vital signs.

Conditions

Anxiety

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• State Anxiety Inventory (STAI)

  In the State Anxiety Inventory, the individual evaluates how he or she feels "at the moment" and according to the severity of the emotions or behaviors expressed in the items (1) "never", (2) "a little", (3) "a lot" and (4) "a lot". are asked to choose one of the statements "completely". The highest score of 4 is given for choosing the phrase "completely", and the lowest score is 1 for choosing the phrase "not at all". The lowest total score that can be obtained from the State Anxiety Scale is 20, and the highest total score is 80. A high score indicates a high level of anxiety, and a low score indicates a low level of anxiety.

  It will be applied within the first 10 minutes when the patient arrives at the Hyperbaric Oxygen treatment center, 10 minutes before the treatment and 10 minutes after the treatment.

Secondary Outcomes (5)

• Blood Pressure

  It will be applied within the first 10 minutes when the patient arrives at the Hyperbaric Oxygen treatment center, 10 minutes before the treatment and 10 minutes after the treatment.

• Pulse

  It will be applied within the first 10 minutes when the patient arrives at the Hyperbaric Oxygen treatment center, 10 minutes before the treatment and 10 minutes after the treatment.

• Respiration

  It will be applied within the first 10 minutes when the patient arrives at the Hyperbaric Oxygen treatment center, 10 minutes before the treatment and 10 minutes after the treatment.

• Body Temperature

  It will be applied within the first 10 minutes when the patient arrives at the Hyperbaric Oxygen treatment center, 10 minutes before the treatment and 10 minutes after the treatment.

• Oxygen Saturation

  It will be applied within the first 10 minutes when the patient arrives at the Hyperbaric Oxygen treatment center, 10 minutes before the treatment and 10 minutes after the treatment.

Study Arms (3)

Emotional Freedom Technique Group

EXPERIMENTAL

When the patient, who was determined to be in the emotional liberation group, was admitted to the unit, the patient's consent was first obtained; In the first 10 minutes, the patient will fill out the Patient Introduction Form, State Anxiety Scale, Subjective Disturbance Unit Scale and Vital Signs Form in the Unit. Emotional liberation technique will be applied and then the subjective disturbance unit score will be recorded. Then the patient will fill out the State Anxiety Scale and Vital Signs Forms and the patient will be informed about the treatment. He will then be taken into treatment. When the patient leaves the treatment, the process will be completed by filling out the State Anxiety Scale, Subjective Disturbance Unit Scale and Vital Signs Form again within 10 minutes.

Other: Emotional Freedom Technique

Virtual Reality Glasses Group

EXPERIMENTAL

Consent was first obtained for admission differences to the patient unit, which was noted to have virtual reality limits; Patient Introduction Form, State Anxiety Scale, Subjective Disturbance Unit Scale and Vital Tests Form will be filled in the unit. Then the virtual reality of life will be explained and glasses will be purchased. Forest/beach/sea video images can be watched in virtual reality. The video is planned to last approximately 10 minutes. The application is planned to take 20-25 minutes. Before the session, the State Anxiety Scale, SUBJECTIVE DISORDER UNIT SCALE and Vital Tests Form will be filled in again, the patient will be informed and then the treatment will be administered. Once the treatment is completed, the patient will take a third measurement within 10 minutes and the State Anxiety Scale, Subjective Disturbance Unit Scale and Life Parameters Form will be filled out again.

Other: Virtual Reality Glasses

Control Group

NO INTERVENTION

When the patient determined to be in the control group is admitted to the unit, patient consent was obtained within the first 10 minutes and the Patient Introduction Form, State Anxiety Scale, Subjective Disturbance Unit Scale and Vital Signs Form will be filled in the unit. The patient will be prepared for the treatment, will be given special clothing for the treatment, and will be given standard training for the treatment. Then, the second measurement will be taken just before the patient enters the session. There will be at least 20 minutes between the second measurement and the first measurement. The State Anxiety Scale, Subjective Disturbance Unit Scale and Vital Signs Form will be filled out again. After the treatment process is completed, the patient will be measured for the third time and the process will be completed by filling out the State Anxiety Scale, Subjective Disturbance Unit Scale and Vital Signs Form again.
