Abstract
Objective: To elucidate the effect of virtual reality video application on fistula puncture-associated pain in patients undergoing hemodialysis.
Design: Attention controlled and assessor-blinded randomized trial.
Materials and methods: Attention controlled and assessor-blinded randomized trial was conducted 28 patients at the hemodialysis center of City Hospital. The patients in the intervention group (n = 14) participated in 12 hemodialysis sessions with virtual reality video application under the researcher's supervision. The patients in the control group (n = 14) received a 6-min training session on diet compliance. The Sociodemographic Form and Visual Analog Scale were used to collect data in person at various time points: baseline (t0), during the 1st to 12th hemodialysis sessions (t1-t12), and 1 week after implementation (t13).
Results: Virtual reality video application helped in effectively decreasing pain over time, as revealed by significant differences in the measurements at t1-t12 and t13 (p < 0.05). Time-based variations in within-group differences revealed that the median fistula puncture-associated pain values were significantly higher at baseline and t13 measurements in the intervention group (p < 0.05). In contrast, no significant differences were observed in the median fistula puncture-associated pain values in the control group (p < 0.05).
Conclusion: In patients undergoing hemodialysis, the application of virtual reality helps decrease fistula puncture-associated pain values. Advances in technology, particularly virtual reality, may play a vital role in shaping the future of healthcare.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Vascular Access (JVA) is issued six times per year; it considers the publication of original manuscripts dealing with clinical and laboratory investigations in the fast growing field of vascular access. In addition reviews, case reports and clinical trials are welcome, as well as papers dedicated to more practical aspects covering new devices and techniques.
All contributions, coming from all over the world, undergo the peer-review process.
The Journal of Vascular Access is divided into independent sections, each led by Editors of the highest scientific level:
• Dialysis
• Oncology
• Interventional radiology
• Nutrition
• Nursing
• Intensive care
Correspondence related to published papers is also welcome.
