    BackgroundPeripheral intravenous catheter (PIC) implementation is among the most frequent and highly invasive nursing initiatives. PIC leads to anxiety with procedural pain, causing individuals to reject these procedures or negatively affecting the process's success.AimThe study was conducted to determine the effect of virtual reality glasses (VRG) on pain, anxiety, and patient satisfaction during the peripheral intravenous catheter (PIC) process in adults.DesignAn experimental study.SettingsAn emergency department of a university hospital.MethodsIndividuals who were admitted to the emergency unit of the university hospital were recruited between the data collection dates. Data from individuals' "Patient Information Form," "Visual Pain Scale," "Visual Anxiety Scale," and "Visual Satisfaction Scale" were collected. "VR-Box 3D Glasses" was used as virtual reality glasses.ResultsIn our study, when the pain point averages with VAS were compared during the PIC process, the pain score average of the patients in the control group was 5.78 ± 1.23 visual anxiety scale 5.89 ± 1.23 and patient satisfaction scale 3.86 ± 2.48, The visual pain score average of patients in the VRG group is 4.12 ± 2.16, visual anxiety scale 3.14 ± 1.76 and visual patient satisfaction scale 7.64 ± 3.26. In short, it has been detected that the pain, anxiety, and patient satisfaction score averages of patients in the VRG group are statistically significant compared to the pain score averages of patients in the control group (p < .005). Our study unearthed a statistically significant relationship at an average level of negative direction between PIC post-treatment pain, anxiety, and patient satisfaction (r = - 0.476).ConclusionUtilization of VRG has been detected to reduce pain and anxiety felt during the PIC process in adult patients and increase process satisfaction. VRG, a non-pharmacological, non-invasive, inexpensive, and feasible nursing initiative, may be recommended for use in pain and anxiety control in patients undergoing PIC treatment.Copyright © 2024.
