The Effect of Virtual Reality Glasses on Fear of Birth, Delivery Time and Non-Stress Test Results in Pregnancy in the Process of Labor

From the gestation period, labor affects the mother due to both physical and emotional changes. Mothers experience new emotions and experiences since their admission to the delivery room. With the progression of the mother's physiological changes and labor in the delivery room, new situations arise. Although the birth process is a complex process, it can vary from person to person. In the delivery room, many preparations and applications are made for labor. A positive pregnancy and childbirth will affect both the motherhood process and later life periods. Every day, new applications are added to the applications made for the mother to leave the labor satisfied. Virtual reality (VR) glasses application has features such as relaxation, distraction, reducing focus on pain, painful and stressful applications. When the literature is examined, SG glasses are generally focused on pain in the field of women's health. In this study, it is aimed to evaluate the effect of watching videos with SG glasses on the fear of childbirth, NST results and delivery time by using the distraction feature of the mother in the delivery room. The study included mothers who came to Antalya Training and Research Hospital delivery room for vaginal delivery, aged 18-35, had no hearing and vision problems, had an uneventful pregnancy, and had no chronic disease in the fetus or mother. A total of 128 mothers with 64 experimental (32 primiparous, 32 multiparous), 64 control groups (32 primiparous, 32 multipara) and a total of 128 mothers will be included in the study by power analysis. For the randomization of this study, which was planned as a randomized controlled trial, "simple randomization method" stratified sampling, which was admitted to the delivery room and met the inclusion criteria, was used. In the study, mothers in the experimental group will be shown a nature video with SG glasses during the NST procedure. No intervention other than routine delivery room care will be applied to the con
