Aim: The aim of the present study was to examine the effect of virtual reality and guided imagery to reduce pain during peripheral intravenous catheterization procedures in adults.Methods: The study will include 90 adults who were randomly selected between February and March 2025. One application group (n=30) will receive a virtual reality glasses application; the other application group (n=30) will receive a guided imagery application. The applications to the site of the peripheral intravenous catheterization will last two minutes. The control group (n=30) will receive the standard peripheral intravenous catheterization application procedure. The groups' level of pain during catheterization will be assessed using a visual analog scale.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| The virtual reality group | Experimental | During peripheral intravenous catheterization, virtual reality headset (Oculus Go) will be worn. Because the headset is reusable, attention will be paid to disinfecting them before and after each use. |
|
| The guided imagery group | Experimental | During peripheral intravenous catheterization, an audio clip Mp3 player and headphones will be worn. Since these headphones are reusable, they will be disinfected before and after each use. |
|
| The control group | Experimental | No intervention will perform on the control group before the peripheral intravenous catheterization procedure, and the standard peripheral intravenous catheterization procedure will perform. |

| The virtual reality | Other | During the PIK application, 3D visual and audio videos of the beach will be played with an Oculus Go brand virtual reality (VR) headset until the procedure is completed. The video that starts at the beginning of the procedure is planned to last approximately 2-3 minutes during the application. During this time, patients will be asked to close their eyes and take a comfortable position. The VR headset will be disinfected after each application and used on the other patient. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| procedure duration in sec | In the stages of the peripheral intravenous catheterization intervention of individuals in the application and control groups, a chronometer will start immediately after an automatic tourniquet is attached to the patient's arm. After catheterization was completed successfully, the chronometer was stopped, and the procedure duration was recorded in the form of seconds on the data collection form. | during the intervention/procedure |
| pain intensity in mm | A 10-cm vertical VAS was used to evaluate the severity of pain felt by the individuals during the procedure. The lowest score that can be obtained from the scale is 0 and the highest score is 10 cm (100 mm). Pain severity was evaluated in millimeters | during the intervention/procedure |
| procedure satisfaction in mm | A scale between 1 and 10 will be used to evaluate the patients' satisfaction levels with the procedure. "1" on this scale indicates the least satisfaction level, and "10" indicates the highest satisfaction level. Patients will be asked to mark their level. | during the intervention/procedure |

| The guided imagery | Other | Patients in this group will be played an audio clip that helps them imagine walking on a beach and gives instructions during the walk until the procedure is completed, using an MP3 player and headphones. The audio clip aims to activate the imagination of patients by allowing them to use their senses. For example, the temperature of the sun (feeling), the texture of the sand (touching), the color of the sea (seeing), the sound of the waves (hearing), and the smell of the sea (smell) are some examples of this. The audio clip will be voiced by a professional voice artist with good diction. It is planned that the audio clip will be played for approximately 2-3 minutes during the application. During this time, patients will be allowed to close their eyes and take a comfortable position. The headphones of the MP3 player will be disinfected after each application and used on the other patient. |
