Oculus Meta Quest 2 All In-One model virtual reality glasses
Oculus Meta Quest 2 All In-One model virtual reality glasses: During the caesarean section, Meta Quest 2 All In-One model virtual reality glasses from Oculus were used for 15 minutes. In this virtual environment, the licensed product video "Breathe- Relax and Meditate" was watched via the "Meta Horizon" application.
Study summary
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of virtual reality intervention during cesarean delivery under spinal anesthesia on labor pain, anxiety, satisfaction and hemodynamic parameters in primiparous pregnant women.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
1. Is there a significant difference between the mean intraoperative pain scores of the pregnant women in the intervention group and those in the control group?
2. Is there a significant difference between the mean intraoperative anxiety scores of the pregnant women in the intervention group and those in the control group?
3. Is there a significant difference between the mean birth satisfaction scores of the pregnant women in the intervention group and those in the control group?
4. Is there a significant difference between the vital signs of pregnant women in the intervention group and those in the control group?
5. Is there a significant difference between the mean apgar scores of the pregnant women in the intervention group and those in the control group?

Primary outcome measure(s)
State-Trait Anxiety Inventory — Birth anxiety was assessed at two different times. The first; 6-12 hours before cesarean delivery, and the second; was during the cesarean section, between 6-15th minutes. Pregnancy, birth and the transition to parenthood are important milestones in a woman's life, both physically, emotionally and socially. A cesarean section is an anxious process because it is both a birth and a surgical intervention. Especially for those who are giving birth for the first time, fears that the mother will experience pain during birth and possible risks to the health of the mother and newborn increase the anxiety and concerns about this process. In the management of anxiety during pregnancy, birth and postpartum periods, pharmacological interventions are avoided due to their possible negative effects on the fetus. This situation increases the importance of using nonpharmacological methods in the management of anxiety. The minimum score obtained from the scale is 20, the maximum score is 80. A high score obtained from the scale means that anxiety is high. The cut-off score of the scale is 39-40.
Maternal Satisfaction Evaluation Scale (Cesarean Section) — Between 0-25th minutes of cesarean delivery It is reported that birth satisfaction is an important parameter in protecting mother-baby health. Therefore, birth satisfaction is one of the important indicators of the quality of health care provided. The World Health Organization recommends that a birth care should be organized and provided in order to ensure a positive birth experience, where women can make conscious choices and receive uninterrupted support throughout the labor and delivery process. Birth support during birth, use of evidence-based practices, use of non-pharmacological methods in anxiety and pain management, implementation of practices in cooperation with the woman, communication, informing the woman about the process, using positive language, and respecting privacy are the roles of health professionals in increasing birth satisfaction. The total raw score varies between 42-210. As the total score from the scale increases, the mothers' satisfaction levels with cesarean birth increase. The cut-off score 146.5.
