Standard prenatal care: The control group will receive standard prenatal care and treatment provided by the hospital.
After the study is completed, control group participants will be shown nature-themed videos via Virtual Reality Glasses (VRG) if they wish.
Nature-themed video: Pregnant women with premise rupture of membranes (PRM) in the intervention group will be shown a nature-themed video prepared by the researchers with nature sounds via Virtual Reality Glasses (VRG) twice a day for at least five minutes each time for three days.

Primary outcome measure(s)
Comparison of sociodemographic characteristics of pregnant women with premature rupture of membranes prior to intervention using questionnaires. — 6 months Sociodemographic information of pregnant women will be collected, compared, and reported through questionnaires.
Comparison of mean scores on the Fetal Health Concern Scale among groups of pregnant women. — 6 months The Fetal Health Concern Scale will be administered to pregnant women.
The Fetal Health Concern Scale ranges from 0 to 42 points (minimum-maximum), with higher scores indicating greater fetal health concern.
Comparison of mean Prenatal Distress Scale scores among groups of pregnant women. — 6 months The Prenatal Distress Scale will be administered to all pregnant women.
The Prenatal Distress Scale ranges from 0 to 34 points (minimum-maximum), with higher scores indicating greater prenatal distress.
Comparison of mean Prenatal Attachment Inventory scores among groups of pregnant women. — 6 months The Prenatal Attachment Inventory will be administered to all pregnant women.
The Prenatal Attachment Inventory score ranges from 21 to 84 points (minimum-maximum), with higher scores indicating greater prenatal distress.
