Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
This study was planned to determine the effect of virtual reality glasses on anxiety, fear, and physiological parameters in cancer patients aged 4-10 years undergoing intrathecal chemotherapy. The main questions that the study aimed to answer are as follows: * Could virtual reality glasses affect the fear experienced by children undergoing intrathecal chemotherapy? * Could virtual reality glasses affect the anxiety experienced by children undergoing intrathecal chemotherapy? * Does virtual reality goggles have an effect on the physiological parameters of children undergoing intrathecal chemotherapy? Researchers will compare the effects of virtual reality glasses on fear, anxiety, and physiological parameters (heart rate, blood pressure, respiratory rate, and oxygen saturation) in children with cancer undergoing intrathecal chemotherapy to a control group that will not receive any intervention. Cancer patients participating in the study will be given virtual reality glasses before intrathecal chemotherapy treatment.

- description
- In this study, children and their families who meet the inclusion criteria will be informed about the use of Virtual Reality Glasses, and the researcher will obtain an "Informed Consent Form." Before intrathecal chemotherapy, the Child and Family Demographic Characteristics Form and scales (thus determining the children's predicted levels of fear and anxiety before the procedure) will be administered to the children by the researcher, and the child's physiological parameters (heart rate, blood pressure, respiratory rate, oxygen saturation value) will be recorded by the researcher. Then, the children will be fitted with Virtual Reality Glasses by the researcher and shown a selected animation film (approximately 15 minutes long). Five minutes after the child finishes watching the video, the physiological parameters will be recorded again, and the scales will be administered by the researcher.
