Abstract
Purpose: The purpose of the study was to examine the effect of watching nature-based videos with virtual reality (VR) glasses on surgical fear and anxiety in patients scheduled for open heart surgery.
Design: The present study used a randomized-controlled experimental design.
Methods: The study was conducted between December 2023 and February 2024 at a cardiovascular surgery training and study hospital in Istanbul. The patients were randomly divided into 2 groups as the experimental (n = 30) and control groups (n = 30). After the experimental group was informed about the preoperative preparation, they watched a nature-based video with VR glasses. The control group was informed only about preoperative preparation. The data were collected by using the "Personal Information Form," "Surgical Fear Questionnaire," and "State-Trait Anxiety Inventory."
Findings: When the post-test mean scores of Surgical Fear Questionnaire were evaluated, they were found to be 35.80 ± 12.26 in the experimental group and 55.60 ± 10.91 in the control group. The post-test mean scores of the patients in the experimental group were significantly lower than those of the patients in the control group (P < .05). The post-test mean scores of the patients on State-Trait Anxiety Inventory-I were were 42.03 ± 6.99 in the experimental group and 63.80 ± 6.65 in the control group. The post-test mean scores of the patients in the experimental group were significantly lower than those of the control group (P < .05).
Conclusions: Watching nature-based videos with VR glasses reduced both surgical fear and anxiety in patients scheduled for open heart surgery.
