Özet
This study aimed to determine the effect of virtual reality (VR) glasses used during inhaler treatment on anxiety, fear and vital signs in children. The study had an experimental, randomized controlled design. Participants were assigned to groups using a lottery method based on simple randomization. The random sequence was generated by physically mixing up 30 red (experimental) and 30 white (control) cards. All the data were collected and finalized by two trained researchers (Yasemin Özyer Güvener, a nurse researcher, and Şeyma Şimşirgil Kara, a pediatrician). Participants were recruited using a convenience sampling method from among individuals who met the inclusion criteria. In terms of baseline measurements, the experimental group had significantly higher mean pulse rate, fear scores, and anxiety scores (130.23 ± 14.64, 2.77 ± 1.25, and 4.60 ± 2.04, respectively) compared to the control group …
