Andet: experiment

Group shown a video using a virtual reality headset: A video containing images of nature and waterfalls is downloaded to a phone and provided to the participant ready to use inside a virtual reality headset; the procedure is carried out as described below.

For three consecutive days, each day:

• After menstruation begins, apply the VAS pain scale before going to bed in the evening
• In the evening, in a dark and quiet environment, watch the 30-minute virtual reality video as instructed by the researcher until falling asleep
• The following morning, apply the VAS pain scale and RCUÖ and inform the researcher.

After the study was completed, the equipment returned to the researcher was calibrated and cleaned as necessary by the researcher and prepared for use with another patient.

Distribution of women according to the characteristics of their menstrual cycles

This table includes the latest menstrual pain scale, the occurrence of pain during the menstrual cycle, the type of dysmenorrhea, the timing of dysmenorrhea, information about menstruation, who provided information about menstruation, the use of pain relievers during the menstrual period, non-pharmacological interventions used to alleviate menstrual pain, non-pharmacological interventions used to alleviate menstrual pain, the presence of dysmenorrhea in the family, and gynecological diagnosis data. Patients with a pain scale (VAS) score of 4 or higher were evaluated, and the analysis proceeded to secondary outcomes.

Comparison of Participants' Sleep-Related Characteristics by Group

This table provides information on a woman's sleep patterns during her menstrual cycle

Comparisons of Participants' Visual Analog Scale (VAS) Scores Between and Within Groups

A visual analog scale is a pain assessment tool where individuals mark their pain level on a horizontal bar ranging from 0 to 10. The starting point of the scale indicates the absence of pain, while the end point indicates that the pain is unbearable.

This table shows the woman's pain scale assessment.

Comparisons of Participants' Richard Campbell Sleep Scale (RCSQ) Scores Across and Within Groups

The Richard Campbell Sleep Scale assesses the depth of sleep, the time it takes to fall asleep, the frequency of waking, the duration of wakefulness upon waking, the quality of sleep, and the noise level in the environment. Each item on the scale is scored on a scale of 0 to 100. A score of "0-25" indicates "very poor sleep," while a score of "76-100" indicates "very good sleep." When calculating the total scale score, the scores from the 5 items are added together; the noise level in the environment is not included in the total score calculation.
