About this trial

The research was conducted at the Istanbul Zeynep Kamil Women's And Children's Diseases Education And Research Hospital's Maternity Service between the dates of June 15 and December 31, 2025. It is a randomized controlled experimental research. The data consist of a total of 32 primiparous mothers whose baby was hospitalized in the neonatal intensive care unit who met the criteria for inclusion in the study. Mothers were divided into groups (16 experiments, 16 controls) by randomization method. The data of the research were collected using the Personal Information Form, the Status Anxiety Scale and the Inadequate Milk Perception Scale after obtaining the permission of the ethics committee and the institution. Virtual reality glasses were applied to the mothers in the experimental group. Only routine clinical care was applied to the mothers in the control group.

Personal Information Form

In accordance with the relevant literature information provided by the researchers (Sari Ozturk and Demir, 2023; Ferraz Dos Santos et al., 2020) developed (Personal Information Form socio-demographic variables belonging to mothers (age, education level, income level, etc.) obstetric characteristics (pregnancy, miscarriage, number and shape of birth, etc.) consists of 33 questions related to breastfeeding and anxiety.

The Status Anxiety Scale

The status-continuous anxiety scale is a self-assessment questionnaire consisting of short statements. It has been adapted to Turkish by Öner and Le Compte. In this study, only the State Anxiety subscale was used. The reason for this is that the Situational Anxiety Scale describes how an individual feels at a certain moment and under certain conditions, and includes a response taking into account their feelings about the situation they are in, Cronbach's Alpha internal consistency coefficient for the situational anxiety scale was found to be between 0.94 and 0.96 in reliability analyses. Dec. The state anxiety scale consists of a scale consisting of a total of twenty items. There is no time limit for responding to the scale. The emotions or behaviors expressed in the items of the state anxiety scale are answered by marking one of the following styles according to the degree of severity of such experiences: (1) none, (2) a little, (3) a lot, (4) completely.

Inadequate Milk Perception Scale

Inadequate Milk Perception Scale Developed by McCarter-Spaulding and Kearney in 2001, the scale consists of 6 questions to determine the inadequate perception of breast milk. The first question that questions whether the mother perceives her milk adequately is in the form of "yes" or "no". The other 5 questions are aimed at measuring the perception of milk Deciency and are scored between 0-10. "0" indicates that milk is completely inadequately perceived, "10" indicates that milk is completely adequately perceived. The scale is scored between 0-50 Dec. A high score indicates that the competence perception of milk has increased. The Cronbach α value was determined as 0.81 in the original of the scale (McCarter-Spaulding \& Kearney, 2001). The validity reliability of the scale in Turkish was made by Gökçeoğlu and Küçükoğlu and the Cronbach α value of the study was found to be 0.82 (Gökçeoğlu, 2014).
