Effect of Virtual Reality Application on Anxiety and Fear in Patients

Patients in the experimental group were shown videos of natural landscapes with VR glasses in their beds. This application was used to distract patients who were experiencing negative emotions just before surgery. The video session begins with the introduction of the virtual reality glasses. A motionless virtual area is determined at the point where the patient's stretcher is located. The glasses are placed on the patient's head and both hands of the patient are trained to use the remote control. Video content is selected and started according to the patient's preference. Video sessions last approximately 10 minutes.
