Abstract

Background and purpose

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of Virtual Rainforest (VRF) and a White Noise (WN) mobile applications on patient satisfaction, tolerance, comfort, and vital signs during arthroscopic knee surgery.

Methods

This is a randomized, controlled, interventional study. The study was completed with a total of 93 participants, 31 in the VRF group, 31 in the WN group, and 31 in the control group. Data were collected using a Patient Information Form and a Visual Analog Scale for satisfaction, tolerance, and comfort.

Results

The results of study showed that there were significant increases in tolerance, satisfaction, comfort, respiratory rate, and oxygen saturation levels and significant decreases in heart rate, systolic and diastolic blood pressures in both VRF and WN groups (p < .05). In the control group, no significant difference was found between the means of the variables before and after the procedure (p > .05).

Conclusion

According to the results of the study, VRF and WN applied during the arthroscopy procedure increased satisfaction, tolerance, and comfort in patients and had a positive effect on vital signs.

Trial and protocol registration

ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT05992714.

虚拟热带雨林和白噪声移动应用对关节镜手术过程中的满意度、耐受性、舒适度和生命体征的影响

背景和目的本研究旨在调查虚拟雨林（VRF）和白噪音（WN）移动应用程序对膝关节镜手术期间患者满意度、耐受性、舒适度和生命体征的影响。共有 93 人参与了这项研究，其中 VRF 组 31 人，WN 组 31 人，对照组 31 人。研究结果表明，VRF 组和 WN 组的耐受性、满意度、舒适度、呼吸频率和血氧饱和度水平均有显著提高，心率、收缩压和舒张压均有显著降低（p <.05）。结论根据研究结果，在关节镜手术过程中应用 VRF 和 WN 可以提高患者的满意度、耐受性和舒适度，并对生命体征产生积极影响。
