Effect of VR and Music on Fetal Well-Being and Anxiety During Nonstress Test

The music was provided to the pregnant women with wireless headphones worn over the head, an electronic acoustic device with sound-enhancing ear pads, and an adjustable headband. These headphones allowed the pregnant women to listen to music in isolation. The music played in the study was determined with the recommendation of the Research and Promotion of Turkish Music (TUMATA), which operates in Turkey and carries out treatment studies with Turkish music.

Pregnant women in the VR group were given adaptive three-dimensional (3D) glasses that fit snugly on their heads to optimize image quality and provide full distance adjustment. All pregnant women in the group were allowed to wear the glasses for a few minutes before the application in order to get used to the glasses. The image to be projected on the glasses was provided by placing a smartphone compatible with the glasses on the front of the glasses. Pregnant women in the VR group were shown an image of a green landscape with a relaxing sound accompanying the 3D images. Pregnant women in the VR group were shown an image of green nature due to the proven psychologically relaxing effect of green. Since the content in question is prepared in 360 degrees, the person wearing the glasses finds herself in the virtual world and experiences the feeling of being there, no matter which direction she looks.
