Brief summary (registry, in English)
This study aims to evaluate the effects of virtual reality (VR) and eye mask (EM) applications on pain, anxiety, and physiological parameters during dressing after Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) surgery. Postoperative dressing procedures, especially after sternotomy, often cause significant pain and anxiety in patients. These issues can negatively impact recovery and increase the need for medication. Non-pharmacological interventions such as VR and EM may help reduce these symptoms. In this randomized controlled trial, 90 patients are divided into three groups: VR group, EM group, and a control group receiving standard care. Pain and anxiety levels are monitored baseline, immediately after, and 15 minutes after both the first and second dressing procedures. Physiological parameters are measured baseline, during, immediately after, and 15 minutes after both dressing procedures. Additionally, analgesic use is followed baseline and immediately after each dressing procedure. The study is conducted in a cardiovascular intensive care unit in Istanbul, Türkiye. It is expected that the findings will support the integration of VR and EM as effective, low-cost, and non-invasive options for postoperative care, improving patient comfort and healthcare quality.
