The Effect of a Virtual Reality Video Intervention
Sponsor: Sümeyye BAL
Summary
This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the effect of a virtual reality (VR) video intervention on fear of childbirth and anxiety among hospitalized high-risk pregnant women receiving bed rest. High-risk pregnancy and prolonged hospitalization may increase psychological distress, including fear of childbirth and anxiety. Virtual reality has emerged as a non-pharmacological distraction technique that promotes relaxation by immersing individuals in calming virtual environments. Participants in the intervention group will watch a nature-themed VR video with relaxing sounds using a VR headset in addition to routine care, while the control group will receive routine care only. The findings may provide evidence for the use of VR as a supportive nursing intervention to improve the psychological well-being of hospitalized high-risk pregnant women.
