Evaluation of The Effect of Virtual Reality Glasses

The study was planned as a randomized controlled study to evaluate the effect of virtual reality glasses used on anxiety and treatment compliance in outpatient cancer patients receiving chemotherapy. The sample of the study consisted of a total of 30 patients, including 15 experimental and 15 control groups, who received intravenous chemotherapy treatment every 21 days between April 1 and September 31, 2023, in the outpatient chemotherapy unit of a research hospital. Research data will be collected using the Patient Information Form, Beck Anxiety Scale (BAI) and Chronic Disease Adaptation Scale (CCDS). In evaluating the data, it was planned to analyze the differences between the rates of categorical variables in independent groups with Chi-Square tests. It was planned to use t tests to compare quantitative continuous data between two independent groups. Dependent groups t-test will be used to compare measurements within groups. After being informed about the research, patients in both groups will be given a pre-test. Patients in the experimental group will be shown 3 different videos with virtual reality glasses during 3 cycles of chemotherapy treatment, and a final test will be administered to both groups at the end of the 3rd cycle..
