Tiroid İnce İğne Biyopsisi Sırasında Uygulanan Sanal Gerçeklik Gözlüğünün Kaygı Düzeyine ve Hasta Memnuniyetine Etkisi

Abstract

Amaç: Bu araştırma, sanal gerçeklik gözlüğünün tiroid ince iğne biyopsisi uygulanacak hastalarda kaygı düzeylerine ve hasta memnuniyetine etkisinin incelenmesi amacıyla yarı deneysel bir araştırma olarak gerçekleştirilmiştir. Gereç ve Yöntem: Araştırmaya, şehir hastanesinin endokrinoloji ve metabolizma hastalıkları polikliniğine başvuran ve tedavisini bu birimde sürdüren 80 hasta (40 girişim grubu, 40 kontrol grubu) dahil edildi. Veriler, Kişisel Bilgi Formu, Durumluluk Kaygı Ölçekleri ve Sanal Gerçeklik Gözlüğü Uygulamasından Memnuniyet Formu kullanılarak yüz yüze görüşmeler yoluyla toplandı. Bulgular: Girişim grubunda işlem sonrası durumluk kaygı seviyelerinde (p=0,050) anlamlı bir azalma saptanmıştır. Çalışma sonucunda hastaların %77,5’ı tekrar uygulama yapılırsa sanal gerçeklik gözlüğü kullanmayı istediğini, %77,5’i tiroid ince iğne biyopsisi yaptıracak hastalara sanal gözlük kullanmayı önerdiğini bildirdi. Sonuç: Sanal gerçeklik gözlüğünün, durumluk kaygı düzeylerinde anlamlı düşüş sağlama potansiyeline sahip olduğunu göstermektedir. Hemşireler tarafından hastalara sanal gerçeklik gözlüğü uygulamasının yaygınlaştırılması önerilmektedir.

The Effect of Virtual Reality Glasses on Anxiety Level and Patient Satisfaction During Thyroid Fine Needle Biopsy

Abstract

Objective: The present study was conducted as a quasi-experimental study to investigate the effects of virtual reality glasses on anxiety levels and patient satisfaction in patients who underwent fine-needle thyroid biopsy. Materials and Methods: This study included 80 patients (40 in the intervention group and 40 in the control group) who were admitted to the endocrinology and metabolic disease outpatient clinic of a city hospital and who continued their treatment in this unit. Data were collected through face-to-face interviews using a Personal Information Form, State Anxiety Scale, and a Satisfaction with the Virtual Reality Goggles Application Form. Results: The amount of anxiety in the intervention group decreased significantly (p=0.050) after the procedure. A total of 77.5% of the patients who took part in the study said they would be interested in using virtual reality glasses if the process were done again. Additionally, 77.5% of the patients said they would not think twice about recommending virtual glasses to people who are going to have a fine-needle biopsy of the thyroid. Conclusion: VR glasses have the potential to significantly decrease anxiety levels. It is recommended that the use of virtual reality glasses by nurses in patient care practices be expanded.
