Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to examine the effect of virtual reality application on pain management, comfort, and care satisfaction in patients undergoing thyroidectomy-parathyroidectomy. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does the use of virtual reality reduce the level of postoperative pain in patients undergoing thyroid and parathyroid surgery? 2. Does the use of virtual reality increase the postoperative comfort level in patients undergoing thyroid and parathyroid surgery? 3. Does the use of virtual reality increase the level of satisfaction after surgery in patients undergoing thyroid and parathyroid surgery? Participants in the experimental group watched a virtual reality video containing nature and sea images and music playing in the background for 15 minutes. Participants in the control group received routine clinical care after thyroidectomy and parathyroidectomy. The pain levels of the patients in the experimental group were lower, and the comfort level was higher than in the control group. There was no difference between the groups in terms of satisfaction level with nursing care.
