Surgical Drain Removal: Pain and Anxiety Management

NCT07081425 NA COMPLETED

Aim: The aim was to evaluate the effect of using virtual reality glasses (VRG) during surgical drain removal on participants' pain and anxiety levels. Study design: Randomized controlled trial Material and Method: Sixty participants (30 experimental, 30 control) who underwent obesity surgery at a hospital in Turkey were randomized and included in the study. VRG was used during drain removal in the experimental group. While collecting data, demographic data of the participants was collected with the Personal Information Form. Pain and anxiety levels were measured using the Numerical Rating Pain Scale (NRPS) and the State Anxiety Inventory (STAI-I) before and after the procedure. In the use of VRG, patients watched 360° videos with themes of nature, forests, underwater scenes, and the sky, depending on their preference. The collected data were statistically analyzed.
