Official title
Effectiveness of a Virtual Reality-based Multisensory Intervention for Postoperative Recovery in Patients Receiving Gynecological Surgery
Overview
This study explores the effectiveness of a virtual reality-based multisensory intervention for postoperative recovery in patients receiving gynecological surgery.
Detailed description
This study explores the effectiveness of a virtual reality-based multisensory intervention for postoperative recovery in patients receiving gynecological surgery. The results of the study included postoperative pain response, comfort, and anxiety of the patients.
Interventions
- Other Virtual Reality intervention
The head-mounted virtual reality device is used to provide patients with relaxing videos of nature scenes accompanied by calming music and guided meditations. - Other Aromatherapy
The cotton ball soaked in lavender essential oil is placed near the patient's pillow.
Primary outcome measures
- Pain response [Time frame: The pain response of patients was assessed at 0.5 hour, 3 hour, 6 hour, 12 hour, 24 hour postoperatively, and immediately after intervention.]
- Anxiety [Time frame: The anxiety level of patients was assessed immediately after the intervention.]
- Sleep quality [Time frame: The sleep quality of patients was assessed at 24 hour postoperatively.]
