Abstract

Objective

This study aims to examine the effects of virtual reality and ice application on pain and anxiety levels in patients with Type 2 diabetes.

Methods

This study was conducted as a randomized controlled clinical trial. The sample of the study consisted of 159 patients with Type 2 Diabetes in two experimental (virtual reality and ice group) and one control group (53 patients in each group). Participant Introduction Form, State Anxiety Scale and Visual Analogue Scale were used to collect the data.

Results

The findings of this study showed that the patients in the virtual reality and ice group had significantly lower post-application pain levels, compared to the control group (p < 0.001). Also, the anxiety levels of the virtual reality group participants were found significantly lower than the ice and control group (p < 0.001).

Conclusions

As a result of the study, it was found that the use of virtual reality reduced anxiety and pain levels, while the use of ice reduced pain levels.

数字分心vs.冷冻缓解：对抗2型糖尿病患者的疼痛和焦虑，一项随机对照试验

目的探讨虚拟现实和冰敷对2型糖尿病患者疼痛和焦虑水平的影响。方法采用随机对照临床试验。研究样本包括159例2型糖尿病患者，分为两个实验组（虚拟现实组和冰组）和一个对照组（每组53例）。采用参与者介绍表、状态焦虑量表和视觉模拟量表进行数据收集。结果本研究结果显示，与对照组相比，虚拟现实和冰敷组患者的应用后疼痛水平显著降低（p <； 0.001）。此外，虚拟现实组参与者的焦虑水平明显低于冰和对照组（p <； 0.001）。研究结果发现，使用虚拟现实可以减轻焦虑和疼痛程度，而使用冰可以减轻疼痛程度。
