Investigating the effect of women's game therapy on virtual reality on the severity of pain and illness caused by pregnant amniocentesis

Determining the effect of game therapy based on virtual reality on the intensity of pain and anxiety from amniocentesis of pregnant women

A clinical trial with a randomized control group will be assigned to two intervention and control groups using a random block method on 56 patients.

The samples will be selected as available in the clinic of Kausar Urmia Oozashi Therapy Center and will be allocated to two intervention and control groups by random block method. Then, the virtual reality headset will be provided to the people of the intervention group for 20 minutes while taking samples from pregnant women, and the control group will receive the usual care.

1- singleton pregnancy 2- Gestation age 15-18 weeks 3- Mother's age is 18 to 45 years 4- Have minimum literacy 5- No vision and hearing impairment 6- Not having chronic diseases before or during pregnancy

The game titled Sesame Collection is designed in 20 minutes and 5 stages. This game can be played with virtual reality glasses. Therefore, its tools will be a 3D display similar to a combination of large glasses with a helmet. There are two very small monitors in it, which cover a wide field of vision and provide proper vision so that a person does not see anywhere else except his eye space and can easily see images in it. There are two speakers on the display in both ears, and it brings the person into the virtual environment. On the glasses, there is a head motion detector sensor that signals the user's head movements from the top of the helmet to the computer, and the user can change the angle of vision by shaking his head. In the control group, mothers only undergo amniocentesis without receiving any intervention.

Severity of pain and anxiety caused by amniocentesis

. People are placed in two intervention and control groups by a simple random allocation method by a non-researcher who is unaware of the divisions. Thus, to minimize contact between groups, each day the first person who volunteers to participate in the study determines the type of group for that day. In this way, the first participant chooses one of the balls from the bag that contained balls A-B-C-D, that day if the first participant chooses ball A or C, he enters the intervention group and that day all the participants in They are placed in the intervention group, and if the first participant chooses ball B or D, then all the participants will enter the control group.
