This study aimed to determine effect of virtual reality (VR) glasses and stress balls (SB) on patients' pain and vital signs during transrectal prostate biopsy.
This experimental research was conducted using a pre or post-procedure randomized controlled model.
The study population consisted of 96 male patients who were admitted to the TRUS Unit of the Urology Department of a state hospital in southeastern Turkey for prostate biopsy. The patients were divided into three groups by block randomization as 32 for VR, 32 for SB, and 32 for the control group. A Patient Information Form and the Visual Analogue Scale were used to collect data. In data analysis, number, percentage, mean, standard deviation, chi-square, dependent group t-test, and ANOVA tests were used.
Comparing mean values of pain and vital signs between the groups, there was no statistically significant difference in terms of pre-test mean scores (P > .05). After Tukey advanced analysis, we found that VR and SB significantly decreased pain, diastolic blood pressure, pulse, and respiratory rate and significantly increased oxygen saturation (P < .05).
We found that VR glasses and squeezing SBs during the transrectal prostate biopsy procedure reduced pain and positively affected vital signs.
本研究旨在确定虚拟现实（VR）眼镜和压力球（SB）对经直肠前列腺活检患者疼痛和生命体征的影响。
本实验研究采用了术前或术后随机对照模型。
研究对象为 96 名男性患者，他们因前列腺活检而被安排到土耳其东南部一家州立医院泌尿科的经直肠超声（TRUS）室。这些患者通过区组随机化分为三组，每组 32 人，分别为 VR 组、SB 组和对照组。使用患者信息表和视觉模拟评分表来收集数据。在数据分析中，使用了数字、百分比、平均值、标准差、卡方检验、独立样本 t 检验和方差分析。
比较各组疼痛和生命体征的均值，在术前平均得分方面无统计学差异（P＞0.05）。经过 Tukey 高级分析，我们发现 VR 和 SB 显著降低了疼痛、舒张压、脉搏和呼吸率，同时显著提高了血氧饱和度（P＜0.05）。
我们发现，在经直肠前列腺活检过程中使用 VR 眼镜和挤压 SB 可以减轻疼痛，并对生命体征产生积极影响。
