The Effect of Virtual Reality Application Diagnosed With Myocardial Infarction

July 10, 2026 updated by: Yavuz Uren, Yuzuncu Yil University

The Effect of Virtual Reality on Vital Signs and Anxiety in Myocardial Infarction Patients Admitted to Cardiology Intensive Care Unit: A Randomized Controlled Study.

This study was designed to investigate the effects of VR (virtual reality) glasses on vital signs and anxiety in conscious patients diagnosed with myocardial infarction and admitted to the cardiology intensive care unit.

Detailed Description

This study was designed to investigate the effects of VR (virtual reality) glasses on vital signs and anxiety in conscious patients with myocardial infarction (MI) admitted to the cardiology intensive care unit. Studies examining the psychological (anxiety) and physiological (vital signs) effects of VR application on MI patients in cardiology intensive care units are quite limited. In this context, this study aims to examine the effects of VR glasses application on the vital signs (blood pressure, heart rate, SPO2, respiratory rate) and anxiety levels of MI patients in intensive care, within the framework of a randomized experimental design. The data obtained are expected to make significant contributions to the integration of technological interventions into cardiovascular disease management.
