Özet
Background and aim This study was carried out to determine the effect of the use of virtual reality glasses, on anxiety, pain, and satisfaction level in order to reduce anxiety and pain during intrauterine device (IUD) insertion, which is a painful and stressful procedure for women and to divert attention to increase satisfaction.Methods This randomized controlled study in the gynecology clinic of a state hospital with 80 women who were accepted to participate in the study. Data were collected using structured patient information form, numerical pain rating scale, state-trait anxiety inventory, patient satisfaction evaluation form, and virtual reality glasses.Results Post-procedural pain scores in the control group after IUD application were higher than post-procedural pain in the virtual reality group. Measurements of post-procedure anxiety in the control group were higher than measurements of post-procedural in the virtual reality group. Satisfaction levels of women with virtual reality glasses during IUD insertion were also found to be high.Conclusions It was determined that the use of virtual reality glasses, one of the methods of distraction during IUD insertion, was effective in reducing pain and anxiety and increasing patient satisfaction.
