Among the women who have been admitted for a planned caesarean section, the Informed Consent Form and the Data Collection Form including Sociodemographic Characteristics, Surgical Fear Scale, Spielberg State-Trait Anxiety Scale will be applied to the women who meet the criteria and randomization will be applied. After randomization, they will be divided into a virtual reality glasses application group and a control group. All women will be applied the Spielberg State-Trait Anxiety Scale and Surgical Fear Scale in the patient room before and after the SGG application. The experimental group will be shown a video (30 minutes) of the 9-month fetal development process, with glasses on before going to surgery.

Participants in the control group received standard care (verbal information about procedure and a short written information about the procedure) and no intervention will perform

The inventory was developed by Spielberger, Gorsuch, and Lushene in 1970. An adaptation, validity, and reliability study of the State-Trait Anxiety Scale in Turkish was conducted by Oner and Le Compte in 1983. The scale consists of two subdimensions: the state anxiety has 20 items and is used to determine what is felt at a specific moment under certain conditions, and the trait anxiety has 20 items and is used to determine what has been felt in the last 7 days. High scores from each subscale indicate a high level of anxiety. The Cronbach's a for the STAI ranges from 0.83 to 0.87. It will be applied half an hour before the surgery.

The scale was developed by Theunissen et al. (2014) and its validity and reliability for use in Turkey were established by Bağdigen and Karaman Özlü (2018). The scale consists of 8 items in an 11-point Likert format, scored between 0 and 10. It is divided into two subscales, each containing 4 items, measuring short-term and long-term fears related to surgery.

Items 1-4 assess fear regarding short-term outcomes of surgery, while items 5-8 evaluate fear concerning long-term outcomes. Each item is rated from "0: not afraid at all" to "10: extremely afraid." A higher total score, with a maximum of 26 points, indicates a greater level of fear. In the validity and reliability study, the Cronbach's alpha coefficient for the total score was found to be 0.93.It will be applied half an hour before the surgery.
