Turkey (Türkiye)90 participantsStarted 2022-05-09

Plain-language summary

Background and Aim: Invasive procedures such as intravenous , intramuscular and subcutaneous Injection practices are among the most frequently performed nursing interventions in ıntensive care units. However, although nursing interventions positively affect the clinical results of the patient, they can cause anxiety and pain. In recent years, music therapy and virtual reality, which are nonpharmacological methods, have been widely used in reducing pain and anxiety. Based on this information, this study was conducted as a randomized controlled experimental to evaluate the effects of virtual reality and music therapy on physiological parameters and anxiety in nursing ınterventions applied to ıntensive care patients. Methods:The research was conducted with 90 patient in intensive care unit. The patients in the sample group were randomly determined by the researcher as Control Group (Standard Procedure), Music Therapy Group and Virtual Reality Group. The selection of patients included in the study was made using a random number table. Research data were collected using a structured patient information form, VAS pain scale , and state and trait anxiety inventory.The data were analyzed using SPSS 25 program. Keywords: music therapy, virtual reality, nursing interventions, intensive care

Questions worth asking your doctor

Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.

1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.

Questions for the trial coordinator

The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.

1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?

A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
