Abstract

Background: This article summarizes the study protocol currently used to evaluate the effect of informing about the operating room environment with virtual reality (VR) glasses on patients' anxiety level and vital signs.

Methods: This study was designed as a non-drug clinical, randomized controlled trial. Eligible patients will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. The population of the study will consist of 80 patients who will undergo planned abdominal surgery in the operating room unit of a state hospital affiliated to the TRNC ministry of health. Before surgery, the first group (n=40) will be informed through VR glasses, while the second group (n=40) will receive standard care.

Conclusions: The outcome is anxiety level before surgery and the state of vital signs during surgery.

Trial registration: International standard randomized controlled trial number NCT05899790.
