Virtual Reality
Other intervention
The demographic information of the participants will be collected through face-to-face interviews. Pain and comfort levels will be assessed using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) prior to the intervention. Additionally, anxiety levels will be measured with the Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, and vital signs will be recorded. Patients included in the study will be informed about the use of virtual reality (VR) goggles and introduced to the videos that will be viewed. During the Continuous Passive Motion (CPM) application, patients will be positioned in a semi-Fowler's position with a pillow placed under the head for support. Through virtual reality, patients will watch the video Forest Walk along the Middle Fork Snoqualmie River Trail with Relaxing Sounds and the accompanying sounds will be delivered through headphones integrated into the goggles.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

Pain, Anxiety, and Comfort Levels during Continuous Passive Motion

Pain and comfort levels will be assessed using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS, 0-10), where 0 indicates no pain/comfort and 10 indicates worst pain/maximal comfort. Anxiety will be measured using the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI). The effects of virtual reality during CPM on pain, anxiety, and comfort will be compared between the VR and control groups.

Time frame

Immediately before and after each CPM session on postoperative day 2 and day 3
