Investigating Anxiety Sensitivity Levels Using Virtual Reality Application During Blood Giving

Year 2024, Volume: 1 Issue: 1, 24 - 34, 28.04.2024

Abstract

Technologies and medical devices in healthcare are generally used to maintain health status and prevent disease symptoms. This study explored the use of virtual reality (VR) to reduce anxiety in children undergoing blood draws. The anxiety levels of children (experimental group) who used VR glasses that explained the blood collection process in a simple way were compared with the anxiety levels of children who did not use these glasses (control group). The study was conducted as a randomized controlled trial, involving 30 children in each group, at a pediatric outpatient clinic between February 15 and May 15, 2019. The VR group watched an educational video explaining the blood drawing procedure before the blood draw, and then watched 3 to 10 minutes of their own choice of videos (dance, water park, zoo, documentary, etc.) through VR goggles. Children's anxiety levels were measured using the Anxiety Sensitivity İndex for Children. The results showed that children in the VR group had significantly lower scores (physical, psychological, and social anxiety) compared to the control group (p<0.001). These findings suggest that VR applications can be a valuable tool for reducing anxiety in children during medical procedures such as blood draws.

Kan Verme Sirasinda Sanal Gerçeklik Uygulamasi Kullanilarak Kaygi Duyarlilik Düzeylerini Araştirilmasi

Year 2024, Volume: 1 Issue: 1, 24 - 34, 28.04.2024

Abstract

Sağlık hizmetlerinde teknolojiler ve tıbbi araçlar genel olarak sağlık durumunun korunması ve hastalık semptomlarının önlenmesi için kullanılmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, sanal gerçeklik (VR) teknolojisinin kan alma işlemi geçiren çocukların kaygısını azaltmada kullanımı incelenmiştir. Kan alma işlemini basit bir şekilde anlatan VR gözlüklerini kullanan çocukların (deney grubu) kaygı düzeyleri, bu gözlükleri kullanmayan çocukların (kontrol grubu) kaygı düzeyleri ile karşılaştırılmıştır. Çalışma, 15 Şubat - 15 Mayıs 2019 tarihleri arasında çocuk hastalıkları polikliniğinde her grupta 30 çocuğun yer aldığı randomize kontrollü bir çalışma olarak gerçekleştirilmiştir. VR grubu, kan alımı öncesinde kan alma işlemini anlatan bir eğitim videosu izledikten sonra, 3 ila 10 dakika arasında kendi seçtikleri videoları (dans, su parkı, hayvanat bahçesi, belgesel vb.) VR gözlükleri aracılığıyla izlemiştir. Çocukların kaygı düzeyleri, "Çocuklar için Anksiyete Duyarlılık Ölçeği" kullanılarak ölçülmüştür. Sonuçlar, VR grubundaki çocukların kontrol grubuna kıyasla önemli ölçüde daha düşük puanlara (fiziksel, psikolojik ve sosyal kaygı) sahip olduğunu göstermiştir (p<0,001). Bu bulgular, sanal gerçeklik uygulamalarının kan alma gibi tıbbi işlemler sırasında çocukların kaygısını azaltmada kullanılabileceğini düşündürmektedir.
