Brief summary (registry, in English)
The effects of virtual reality and stress ball applied during insulin injection on pain, anxiety levels and injection satisfaction in geriatric patients with type 2 diabetes. Insulin injection in geriatric patients with type 2 diabetes causes pain and anxiety, making the treatment process difficult. The aim of the study is to determine the effect of virtual reality and stress ball application on pain, anxiety levels and injection satisfaction during insulin injection in geriatric patients with Type 2 diabetes. Randomization will be achieved by randomly and equally distributing patients who meet the sample selection criteria at Tarsus State Hospital to 3 groups (1st experimental group, 2nd experimental group and 3rd group control group) through a computer program. Considering that there may be case losses, a total of 90 patients (1st Experimental Group \[virtual reality applied\]: 30 patients, 2nd Experimental Group \[stress ball applied\]: 30 patients, control group: 30 patients) will be included in the sample group. In collecting data; A data collection form consisting of "Personal Information Form", "Visual Analog Scale (VAS)", State Anxiety Inventory (DCI), "Visual Patient Satisfaction Scale" forms will be used.
