Episiotomy is one of the common surgical operations that can cause anxiety in women and have side effects such as pain. Nerve blockades with analgesic effects such as lidocaine used during episiotomy repair or the use of tranquilizers and sleep-inducing drugs used to reduce anxiety during this procedure may have side effects. Nowadays, the trends towards non-medical methods (virtual reality glasses, praying, distraction, music therapy) in addition to medical methods during episiotomy repair are increasing due to the inevitable nature of these methods and the absence of side effects. In the study, it is stated that women will prefer non-medical methods (such as distraction or prayer) to alleviate pain or anxiety. It is important for midwives to have knowledge about these alternative methods (music therapy, virtual reality glasses, distraction, massage, acupressure, praying) to reduce the pain and anxiety that occurs during episiotomy repair. A new technology, virtual reality (VR), helps users connect to an environment that simulates reality, reducing pain by distracting them from the real world through computers or other devices. Although initially considered a technology only for the entertainment industry, its field of application has grown over the past decade to include various clinical areas such as pain management, physical rehabilitation, and psychiatric disorders. VR is suitable for clinical use and is a non-invasive and drug-free analgesic method. Its use in obstetrics is very new. Virtual reality glasses are recognized as a safe, inexpensive and effective non-pharmacological anxiolytic agent that allows for the reduction of regular pharmacological sedative doses due to their effect on anxiety and pain perception. Skin-to-skin contact is defined by the World Health Organization as the basic component of postnatal care. Skin-to-skin contact helps to reduce the pain felt during episiotomy repair in the mother and in the postpartum period. This research was planned to determine the effect of virtual reality glasses on pain and anxiety during episiotomy repair.

Primary | Chance of pain felt during episiotomy repair | The participants who met the inclusion criteria will included in the study. In practice, VAS will be administered separately to the women in the experimental groups and control group (pre-procedure, skin repair, immediately after skin repair, in the first hour after skin repair). | During study, an average of 1-1.5 hours | |
Primary | Chance of anxiety during episiotomy repair | The participants who met the inclusion criteria will included in the study.Participants in the experimental groups and control group will be followed for 1 hour in the delivery room after the episiotomy repair is completed.At the end of the follow-up, women who will be taken to the service will have the STAI scale filled. | Through study completion, an average of 1.5-2 hours | |
Primary | Introductory Information Form | This form, developed by the researchers in line with the literature, consists of 20 questions in total, including information about sociodemographic characteristics, medical and obstetric pregnancy history, and current pregnancy of the woman. | Approximately 5-10 hours (after hospitalization). | |
Primary | Visual Analog Scale (VAS) | The scale was first developed and used by Bond and Pilowsky in 1966. The VAS is a 10 cm scale that expresses "painless" at one end and "worst pain" at the other. in VAS; 0 cm means "no pain", 0.5 cm - 3.0 cm means "mild pain", 3.5 cm - 6.5 cm means "moderate pain" and 7.0 cm - 10.0 cm means "severe pain". income. | Approximately 1-1.5 hours (during and after episiotomy repair) | |
Primary | State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) | This scale, developed by Spielberg in 1973, consists of 20 questions. It is a 4-point Likert type scale (1=none, 4=very much). The lowest score that can be obtained from the scale is 20, and the highest score is 80. The higher the score, the higher the level of anxiety. The alpha value of the scale is 0.86-.92.33. Necessary permissions were obtained for the use of the scale. | Approximately 1.5-2 hours (after episiotomy repair) |
