Brief Summary

This study was planned as a randomized controlled experimental study with a pretest-posttest design to examine the effect of the operating room environment experience of preoperative patients using virtual reality glasses on the patients' preoperative surgical fear level and care perceptions.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Change in surgical fear levels of patients in the operating environment after simulation experience with virtual reality glasses

  Change in Anxiety and Stress Levels during the care of patients undergoing surgery Simulation of the operating room environment to patients using virtual reality glasses will affect patients' stress and anxiety levels in the operating room. This situation will be evaluated. The scale consists of 8 items, scored from 0 to 10, and is an 11-point Likert-type scale. Each item is scored as 0 "not at all afraid" and 10 "very afraid". The scale consists of two sub-dimensions, each consisting of four items. These indicate the fear of short-term and long-term consequences of surgery; items 1-4 in the scale measure the fear of short-term consequences of surgery, while items 5-8 measure the fear of long-term consequences of surgery.

  Preoperative Use of Virtual Reality After Simulation

• change in patients' perceptions of nursing care

  The change in patients' nursing care perception scores will be measured. There are 15 statements on the Likert-type scale regarding the quality of nursing care. It is requested to mark one of the 15 statements that make up the scale: I agree = 5, I somewhat agree = 4, I am undecided = 3, I disagree = 2, I strongly disagree = 1 and no response = 0. The score given for each item is taken as basis. Thus, a minimum of 15 and a maximum of 75 points can be obtained from the scale. The increase in the total score obtained from the scale indicates that the patient is satisfied with the nursing care.

Operating Room Environment Experienced by Patients

EXPERIMENTAL

This study was planned as a randomized controlled experimental study in the pre-test post-test design in order to examine the effect of the operating room environment experience of patients using virtual reality glasses before surgery on the level of surgical fear experienced by patients before surgery and their perception of care.

Interventions

Operating Room Environment Experienced by Patients Wearing Virtual Reality Glasses Before Surgery The Effect of Surgery Experience on Surgical Fear Level and Care Perceptions OTHER

The video, which will be shot for patients to experience the operating environment, will include premedication, an operating room and a post-operative care unit. In the video, the operating room environment will be recorded by the researcher with a voice introduction. The image was shot with a 360-degree camera (Insta 360 One X2), edited with an application program (Insta 360 Studio) and then uploaded to the YouTube VR Pro application as a secret video. The video will be shown to the glasses via an Android phone on the internet via YouTube. People wearing glasses at the screening will be able to look in any direction they want thanks to the 360-degree video. They will be able to watch the video again if they want.
