Virtual Reality Glasses in Palliative Care

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Developments in medicine and technology have led to an increase in life expectancy and an increase in the need for palliative care. palliative Care aims to reduce or eliminate a life-threatening situation. The palliative care team cares for the patient and provides informal support to the patient. It should provide care that centers on caregivers (patient's relatives). Relatives of patients who provide palliative care are responsible for their care As it increases, problems such as fatigue, hopelessness and anger may occur. Problems experienced by caregivers of patients Eliminating this problem and integrating it into care by providing psychosocial support is essential for the quality of care. caregivers Health technologies can be used to support In our research, we found that virtual reality glasses were used in palliative care clinics. It is aimed to investigate the effect of patient relatives who care for inpatients on the psychological well-being and care burden. A randomized controlled research design was used in the study. The population of the research is a country in Turkey between June and October 2023. The study consisted of patient relatives who provide care to patients in the palliative care clinic of the public hospital in the province. To research Relatives of patients who met the participation criteria and agreed to participate (control group, n=22; experimental group, n=22) constituted the sample. Data were collected from "Caregiver Introduction Form", "Psychological Well-Being Scale", "Caregiving Burden Scale" and "Virtual Reality Glasses". It was collected using the "Satisfaction Form". Before starting the research, a preliminary study was conducted with four patient relatives. of research In the implementation, firstly the preliminary application of the data collection tools was made. Then, the experimental group was given weekly Videos containing 360-degree images were watched using virtual reality glasses for 30 minutes for three days. In the control group No intervention was made. At the end of the research, the final application of the data collection tools was made. From research The data obtained was analyzed with the SPSS 22.0 package program.

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
