ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is designed to explore how watching virtual reality videos may help reduce anxiety and improve comfort and satisfaction for patients before undergoing a procedure called coronary angiography, which is used to examine heart arteries. The researchers want to find out if using virtual reality can make patients feel calmer and more comfortable during this experience.

To be eligible for the study, participants need to be at least 18 years old, speak and understand Turkish, and have never had an angiography before. It’s important that they don't have any psychiatric conditions, aren't taking any sedative medications, and can clearly understand where they are and what time it is. Patients who volunteer for this study will complete several questionnaires to share their feelings about anxiety, comfort, and satisfaction before and after the procedure. The trial is not yet recruiting participants, so those interested will need to wait for it to start.
