Virtual Reality Glasses and Music During Blood Donation on Anxiety, Vital Signs and Satisfaction of Donors

Turkey (Türkiye)225 participantsStarted 2025-06-23

Plain-language summary

Blood is considered a limited resource in health centers and blood and blood products must be kept ready. The COVID-19 pandemic has caused a significant decrease in life-saving blood donations. In addition, negative experiences such as vasovagal reactions, painful needle sticks, psychological triggers and injuries that develop during blood donation cause donors to experience anxiety, negatively affecting their vital signs and the next donation experience. Therefore, donors should be supported by distraction techniques during blood donation.
