The Effect of Virtual Reality Glass Use on Fetal Health Anxiety, Prenatal Distress, and Maternal-Fetal Attachment in Women with Premature Rupture of Membranes: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Подробное описание

This study is a randomized controlled trial. The study population will consist of nulliparous pregnant women hospitalized with a diagnosis of preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM) in the Perinatology Clinic of Konya City Hospital between June 2025 and January 2027. A total of 176 pregnant women who will be giving birth for the first time will be included in the study (intervention group: n = 88; control group: n = 88). In the intervention group, pregnant women with PPROM will watch a nature-themed video accompanied by natural sounds selected by the researchers through a virtual reality headset (VRH) twice daily for three consecutive days, with each session lasting at least five minutes. The control group will receive the standard antenatal care provided by the hospital. Data will be collected using a Personal Information Form, the Fetal Health Anxiety Scale, the Prenatal Distress Questionnaire, and the Prenatal Attachment Inventory.
