Virtual Reality on Anxiety, Stress, Pain and Patient's Satisfaction Among Patients Undergoing Colonoscopy

The goal of this randomized controlled trial was to investigate the effect of Virtual Reality (VR) on anxiety, stress, pain, and patient satisfaction among Palestinian patients undergoing colonoscopy. The study aimed to determine the efficacy of VR as a non-pharmacological intervention to improve the patient experience during the procedure. The main research hypotheses are: H01: There will be no significant difference in anxiety levels between patients who receive immersive VR during colonoscopy and those who receive standard care. H02: There will be no significant difference in perceived stress levels between patients who receive immersive VR during colonoscopy and those who receive standard care. H03: There will be no significant difference in pain levels between patients who receive immersive VR during colonoscopy and those who receive standard care. H04: There will be no significant difference in satisfaction levels between patients who receive immersive VR during colonoscopy and those who receive standard care. Participants will: Receive either a VR intervention or standard care during their colonoscopy. Wear a VR headset for 15-30 minutes, immersing themselves in a natural environment with relaxing music and nature sounds. Complete assessments of anxiety, stress, pain, and satisfaction before and after the procedure using validated questionnaires.
