The Effect of Virtual Reality Glasses During Endoscopy

Virtual reality is a method that can be used to distract and prepare patients for medical procedures. Virtual reality is a computer-generated environment where three-dimensional interaction is possible. It is an advanced technology that allows an individual to move into a virtual environment and focus their attention on other thoughts, allowing them to pay less attention to pain and anxiety. In this study, the virtual reality glasses were put on for the intervention group five minutes before the procedure began and were kept on until the procedure was completed. The virtual reality glasses showed the patient-selected images of a relaxing nature setting or images without any violent content.
