The stress experienced by patients in hospital environments can lead to a range of issues, from clinical decision-making to discharge. Although stress levels can contribute to new problems, individual characteristics also play a significant role in clinical recovery. Knee surgery is a commonly performed procedure in our country that provides patients with an effective solution to joint-related issues. However, stress experienced by patients who undergo surgery can have negative consequences, from managing problems during their hospital stay to their overall quality of life. The search for effective stress management methods is ongoing and has gained momentum with the development of new technological products. Virtual reality (VR) applications are a novel approach in the literature for managing various issues. Research is being conducted in different areas of our country using this approach. The aim of this project is to evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, and effectiveness of different environment perceptions using virtual reality glasses on postoperative mobilization and well-being in individuals undergoing knee surgery for the first time. The project sample is a randomized controlled trial consisting of 30 patients who will undergo orthopedic surgery for the first time at the Gümüşhane State Hospital orthopedic clinic and meet the acceptance criteria. In the intervention group, patients will view relaxing virtual environment images with VR glasses after surgery. Following the relaxation session, participants will be presented with content to exercise in the virtual environment. Patients will be instructed to perform breathing exercises set in forest and underwater scenes to aid relaxation. The effectiveness of the intervention will be assessed using the Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale and Patient Mobility Scale. A satisfaction scale with a linear format will be used to evaluate the acceptability of the intervention. In addition, a data collection form, developed by the researcher, will be used to gather information on participant characteristics. The obtained data will be analyzed using t-tests, analysis of variance, correlation, and regression tests. Currently, there is a growing number of studies that explore the relationship between technology and health. This project aims to investigate the impact of virtual reality glasses on symptom management. If the results are positive, this method could be used as a solution for various situations where individuals experience symptoms. The goal is to develop a usable product for postoperative mobilization based on the research findings.
The aim of our study is to investigate the effects of landscapes during gait therapy. The investigators will evaluate the impacts of restorative landscapes as they occur in urban, rural and forest environments. Older people will experience those landscapes using virtual reality (VR) goggles during their gait training. The investigators expect the landscapes to have an effect on the following three aspects: (1) stress reduction, (2) restoration of attention and (3) change in gait parameters. For this purpose, volunteers who are currently inpatient in one of our study centers and already participating in gait therapy will be assigned to a group. The control group will receive the standard therapy. The participants of the intervention groups will receive five additional VR training sessions to the standard therapy. In these sessions, the participants will walk through urban, rural and forest landscapes and perform balance improvement exercises. The five training sessions will take place within ten days. Allocation to the control or intervention groups and their landscapes is random. At the start and end of participation, tests defining stress levels and gait parameters are carried out so that comparisons can be made between before and after treatment. The goal of the study is to find out which type of landscape supports restoration and can therefore contribute to greater gait stability. The investigators expect that improved gait stability will be promoted by stress reduction and increased attention induced by the virtual environments. The investigators are investigating the consequences of repeated application of virtual landscapes and the relationship between the effect of the landscape and the preferences and habits of the study participants.
The main aim of this study is to compare the learning outcomes of machine guided VR based training for adult advanced life support with educator guided training in metaverse environment.
The primary aim of this randomized controlled trial is to determine the efficacy of Virtual Reality in pediatric otolaryngology clinics as distraction analgesia and anxiolysis for patients undergoing otologic procedures.
The trunk is reference and key region of body in terms of both mobility and stability. Sufficient stability in the trunk is essential for the execution of intentional extremity movements. Therefore, even in conditions with significant extremity impairment, such as stroke, trunk functionality is a crucial factor affecting the success of treatment. The Balance Trainer is a device used for balance rehabilitation. However, the patient's use of the trunk is also intense during trunk exercises. The aim of the study is to contribute to the literature by examining the development of trunk control, a component of both balance and stability, through the use of the Balance Trainer.
Human performance takes shape from the dynamic interaction between person, environment, and task. Goal-directed action is a complex task, which requires the elderly to adapt their motor response according to the environment constraints and task requirements to accomplish the task goal. Among age-related problems, motor control deficits are often the main problems which restricts the frail elderly from maintaining independence for activities of daily living. Therefore, to preserve the quality of life, motor function of the elderly must be taken into consideration, including early detection of motor control problems and development of appropriate intervention strategy for persons with either healthy or pathological brain aging. Rhythmic skill training which is a new mode of dual tasks using rhythmic cueing as an external agent for facilitating an automatized motor task. During training, rhythmic skill training can provide multi-component of sensory stimulation, strengthen motor planning and optimize motor execution, therefore, it will improve the motor performance for the elderly or patients with mild cognitive impairment. In addition, the neuroplastic changes related to sensory processing, selective attention, or working memory demands through music rhythm training can facilitate the cognitive function for the elderly which is a current trend of geriatric rehabilitation. Moreover, the advantage of virtual reality is that it provides important information related to knowledge of result, which can induce better motor and cognitive training effects. Therefore, this research project will focus on assessing and intervening motor adaptation of upper extremity for the healthy elderly and patients with mild cognitive impairment. The first purpose of the project will analyze the difference in efficiency of responsive and predictive grasping motor adaptation among the healthy young adults, healthy elderly and patients with mild cognitive impairment through a test of perturbation-based of pinch-holding-up-activity, and use artificial intelligence for more accurate classification for the grasp pattern of healthy young adults, elderly and patients with mild cognitive impairment. The second one is to verify the effects of virtual-reality based rhythmic skill training system on the motor adaptation capability of upper limb and cognition for the elderly and patients with mild cognitive impairment.
Upper extremities are the first part of the body to be affected by Parkinson's disease. Although studies have shown that virtual reality-assisted rehabilitation methods are effective on gait and balance, studies on their use for upper extremity rehabilitation are limited. For this reason, the aim of the project is to examine whether virtual reality supported upper extremity position matching exercises, which will be specially prepared according to joint ranges of motion, will provide functional improvement in the upper extremities of individuals with Parkinson's disease.
Nursing education is composed of both theoretical and practical training that complement each other. The clinical practice environment for students is quite complex and practical applications are highly variable. Practical application areas do not offer effective and equal opportunities to meet the learning and application goals. There are also problems in theoretical education, and current teaching techniques cannot adequately support students' learning. In nursing education, it is recommended to use different teaching methods that strengthen students' skills. One of these methods is virtual reality simulation, which simulates real-life procedures. The investigators's aim in this project is to reveal the effect of the use of immersive virtual reality on the effectiveness of education in surgical nursing education through nursing care offered for a specific surgical procedure. With the laboratory setup, software tool(s), and the self-sufficient employees being able to use the software, via the capabilities gained through this project, it will be possible to carry out various types of virtual reality training activities by different departments of investigator's university without the need for out-sourcing. The investigators's advanced goal in this project is to transfer the nursing care specific to frequently applied surgical interventions to the immersive virtual reality environment.
