| Abstract: | PurposeThis study aimed to determine the effects of intraoperative progressive muscle relaxation (PMR) and the application of virtual reality (VR) on anxiety, vital signs, and satisfaction levels during a knee arthroscopy operation.DesignThe study was a three-group randomized controlled trial.MethodsThis study was conducted with 93 patients who consented to participate in the study.FindingsThe State-Trait Anxiety Inventory—S anxiety scale (STAI-S) scores were increased in all the three groups after the surgery. When the preoperative and postoperative STAI-S scores in the group were examined; intragroup STAI-S scores in the PMR and VR groups were statistically significant (P < .05). There was a significant difference between the control group and the PMR and VR groups in mean satisfaction scores (P < .05). The differences between blood pressure and pulse rate were statistically significant in the PMR and VR groups (P < .05).ConclusionsIntraoperative PMR and VR can be used as nursing interventions to increase satisfaction and positively affect vital signs in patients who undergo surgery with spinal anesthesia. |
