“…The current study showed that there was a decrease in the scores of pain during the repair of episiotomy and after repair by (one hour) in the study group with high statistically significant differences between the study and control groups at (P = 0.001). This finding was matched with the data reported in a study by Mohamed et al, (2022), who study the impact of applying virtual reality on pain and anxiety among primiparous women with (surgical incision in the vaginal opining )an episiotomy, and the study highlighted that there was a decrease in pain scores after an episiotomy (immediately after application and an hour later) with a highly statistically significant difference between the study and control groups at (P <0.001). Additionally, this finding was supported by a study by Jahani Shoorab, et al, (2015), who reported that there is a decrease in pain scores at different stages of episiotomy repair.…”

“…According to the research, there was a statistically significant difference in anxiety between the VR group and the control group. Moreover, Mohamed et al (2022) found that there was a decrease in anxiety scores following episiotomy repair both immediately after using virtual reality and an hour later, with a highly statistically significant difference between the study and control groups.…”

“…In addition, this finding matched by those of Ebrahimian &Bilandi (2020), who reported a substantial difference in maternal satisfaction with childbirth in the intervention group compared to the control group. Moreover, Mohamed et al, (2022) showed that the majority of the study sample were satisfied with the VR application. Also, Sahin & Basak (2020), clarified that there was a significant difference between the control group, the progressive muscle relaxation, and virtual reality groups in mean satisfaction scores at (P < 0.05).…”

Background: There are now new technologies and non-pharmacological ways to ease pain, especially during the healing process after an episiotomy. Virtual reality is a new way to treat pain during normal childbirth, and it is becoming more popular. The aim of the current study was to evaluate the effect of a new modality application during episiotomy repair on pain, anxiety, and satisfaction among primiparous women. To accomplish the goal of the current study, a quasiexperimental research design was used. Setting: The study was carried out in the Menoufia University Hospital delivery and labor unit. A purposive sample of 100 primiparous women who were in labor was divided into the study and control groups as the subjects (50 for each). To collect data, four tools were used: a structured interviewing questionnaire, a visual analog scale, a Spielberger state-trait anxiety questionnaire, and a mother satisfaction tool. Results: The study group mean age was 28.86± 5.96 years old, whereas the control group was 28.52± 6.21 years old. The study group's mean episiotomy repair duration score was 9.72 ± 3.15 min, whereas the control group was 15.10 ± 4.25 min. Also, the study group's mean pain intensity score was lower than the control group's mean score (4.66 ±1. 61vs. 6.82± 1.00, respectively). Also, there were statistically significant differences between the two groups in terms of the length of the repair, the severity of the pain, and the degree of anxiety. Also, most of the study sample were satisfied with virtual reality applications. Conclusion: Virtual reality is an effective technique for reducing pain and anxiety level. Also, it is a more efficacious distraction tool for participants during episiotomy repair. Recommendation: Utilization of Virtual reality as an effective complementary non-pharmacological and safe distraction method to lessen pain during episiotomy repair in maternity hospitals.

Emzirmenin anne ve bebek için sayısız yararı vardır. Bu nedeniyle ulusal ve uluslararası kuruluşlar anne sütüyle beslenme oranlarını artırmak için emzirmeyi önermektedir. Emzirmenin teşviki, doğum öncesi ve doğum sonrası dönemde emzirme eğitimleri ile sağlanmalıdır. Küreselleşme ve teknolojinin getirdiği yenilikler, yüz yüze emzirme desteğine erişim ve kaynakların sınırlı olması emzirme desteğinin bilgi ve iletişim teknolojileri aracılığıyla sunulmasına olanak sağlar. Ebeveynlerin eğitiminde ve emzirmenin teşvik edilmesinde kısa mesaj, web tabanlı uygulamalar, online eğitim programları, mobil aplikasyonlar, simülasyonlar ve mobil oyunlardan yararlanılmaktadır. Dünya Sağlık Örgütü ve güncel araştırmalar ebeveynlerin emzirme sürecine bütüncül bir bakış sağlayan ve süreci deneyimleyebileceği teknoloji tabanlı çözümlerin getirilmesini önermektedir. Son yıllarda yaygınlaşan sanal gerçeklik uygulaması, kullanıcıların kendilerini üç boyutlu bilgisayar tarafından oluşturulan bir dünyanın içindeymiş gibi hissetmelerine olanak tanıyan bir teknolojidir. Sanal gerçeklik gözlüğü sağlık alanında çeşitli araştırmalarda kullanılmıştır. Fakat literatürde sanal gerçeklik gözlüğünün emzirme eğitiminin verilmesi amacıyla kullanıldığı araştırmalar çok sınırlıdır. Bu derlemede emzirme desteği ve teşvikini sağlamakta teknoloji ve sanal gerçeklik kullanımını irdelemek amaçlanmıştır.
