Objective: Use of virtual reality is under investigation in reducing perioperative anxiety by means of either distraction or informative procedures. In this study, we observed the outcome of data transfer by means of two different audiovisual content in relieving parental anxiety.
Material and Methods: We recruited 79 mothers in this prospective, double blind, completely randomized trial. They were subject to two informative videos illustrating all events in a day-case surgery. The two peer oriented videos, one concerning animation (Video C) and other with verbal content (Video T), were designed and filmed by our nursing staff. Mothers completed the same State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI-TX) questionnaires, on admission to hospital and on day of surgery after watching the videos following randomization. The results were analyzed using ANOVA test SPSS 22.0.
Results: Thirty one were randomized to Video C and 48 to Video T. Demographic characteristics and state anxiety levels proved statistical insignificance between two groups (p>0.05). State anxiety levels were decreased by 54.2% for Video T and 38.7% for Video C, however, no statistical significance was present between the groups (p=0.133). There were no significant differences according to change of percentage in “state” anxiety between the groups (p=0.240). There was significant difference in change of percentage in “trait” anxiety (p=0.029). There was significant reduction in change of percentage in “trait” anxiety amongst video Group T; with more than two children (p=0.022) and previous hospital experience (p=0.028).
Conclusion: In our study, involuntary anxiety levels were decreased following video experience with verbal content only.
Amaç: Çocuk hastaların annelerinde gözlemlenen perioperatif kaygı düzeyini azaltmak amacıyla uygulanabilecek görsel bilgilendirme veya dikkat dağıtma teknikleri giderek yaygınlaşmaktadır. Çalışmamızda farklı iki görsel bilgilendirme tekniğinin annelerin perioperatif kaygı düzeyleri üzerine etkisinin değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır.
Gereç ve Yöntemler: Prospektif, çift kör ve tam randomize yöntemle planlanan çalışmamıza, günübirlik cerrahi tedavi uygulanan 79 olgunun annesi dâhil edilmiştir. Annelere yaşanacak süreçteki aşamaları anlatan, canlandırma (Grup C) ve sözlü tanıtım (Grup T) içerikli iki farklı amatör video izlettirilmiştir. Çalışmaya dâhil olan bütün annelere, ameliyat kararının alındığı gün ve ameliyat günü sabahı video seyrettirilmesini takiben, Durumluk – Sürekli Kaygı Ölçeği (STAI-TX) uygulanmıştır. Sonuçlar ANOVA test SPSS 22.0 kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir.
Bulgular: Randomizasyon sonucunda 31 anne video C, 48 anne video T’yi izlemiştir. Annelerin demografik bulguları ve durum kaygı ölçümleri karşılaştırıldığında aralarında istatistiksel anlamlı fark bulunamamıştır (p>0.05). Video izlemi sonrası Grup T’deki annelerin %54.2’si ile Grup C’dekilerin %38.7’sinde durum kaygılarının azaldığı görülmekle birlikte, gruplar arası değişkenler karşılaştırıldığında istatistiksel anlamlı fark bulunamamıştır (p=0.133). Gruplar arasında “durum kaygı yüzdelik değişimi” karşılaştırıldığında, istatistiksel anlamlı fark bulunamamıştır (p=0.240). “Sürekli kaygı yüzdelik değişimi” karşılaştırıldığında ise, iki grup arasında istatistiksel anlamlı fark bulunmuştur (p=0.029). “Sürekli kaygı yüzdelik değişimleri” açısından tanıtım videosunu izleyen çok çocuklu ve hastane yatış deneyimi olan annelerin, canlandırma videosuna göre kaygılarındaki azalma istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bulunmuştur (p=0.022, p=0.028).
Sonuç: Annelerin ölçülen perioperatif istemsiz kaygı düzeylerinde, canlandırma videosu sonrasında artış, tanıtım videosu sonrasında ise azalma olduğu saptanmıştır.
