Abstract
Aim: This study aims to determine the effect of patient education and in the operating room family interview practices using virtual reality glasses on patient outcomes related to stress, anxiety and information need, sleep quality and satisfaction with the preparation for surgery in cholecystectomy patients.
Methods: The study was designed as a randomized controlled experimental study. There are three groups with equal numbers of participants randomly assigned. The sample of the study will consist of 60 patients scheduled for laparoscopic cholecystectomy in the general surgery ward of a training and research hospital in Turkey. The first group will receive patient education with virtual reality(VR) glasses in the ward before surgery(n=20), the second group will receive patient education with VR glasses in the ward and family interview with VR glasses in the operating room before surgery(n=20), and the third group will receive no intervention(n=20). Stress and satisfaction of the patients will be assessed by visual analog scale, anxiety and information need by Amsterdam preoperative anxiety and information scale(APAIS), sleep quality by Richard-Campbell sleep scale(RCSS).
Results: Data collection started in January 2025. The researcher continues to collect data.
Conclusion: This trial will provide valuable evidence that offers technological approaches to clinical practice by evaluating the effects of interventions.
Trial registration: This trial was registered in October, 2024(NCT06634615).
Key Words: Virtual reality; anxiety; sleep; satisfaction; cholecystectomy.
