About this trial

Anxiety and sleep disorders are among the most common symptoms in heart failure patients. In addition to pharmacological methods for anxiety and sleep disorders, non-pharmacological methods can also be used. Among these, anxiety and sleep disorders can be prevented with virtual reality glasses aimed at distraction. This study will be conducted to evaluate the effect of breathing exercises performed with virtual reality glasses on anxiety, sleep quality, and respiratory parameters. The study will be conducted with a total of 45 patients, 15 virtual reality glasses + breathing exercises, 15 breathing exercises, and 15 controls. Those in the virtual reality glasses + breathing exercises group will perform breathing exercises with virtual reality glasses once a day for 7 days. Those in the breathing exercises group will perform only breathing exercises once a day for 7 days. Anxiety, sleep disorders, and respiratory parameters of the patients will be examined.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Anxiety level

Turkish adaptation of the state-trait anxiety inventory short version (STAIS-5, STAIT-5). This form is a 4-point Likert type. It is an easy-to-apply inventory consisting of a total of 10 statements. As the score obtained in this form increases, the level of anxiety also increases.

Time frame
Apply the morning before application and the morning 7 days after application.

Secondary outcomes

1

Sleep Quality

Richard Campbell Sleep Quality Scale (RCSQ) for sleep quality level assessment.This form is a 6-item scale. According to the scale scoring, a score between "0-25" indicates very poor sleep, and a score between "76-100" indicates very good sleep.
