This study wants to see if two things-virtual reality (VR) and podcasts-can help women feel better during a medical test called colposcopy. The study looks at stress, anxiety, pain, and heartbeat. It also checks if women are happy with the test and how long the test takes.
There are three groups: one uses VR, one listens to a podcast, and one gets no extra help.
The study will include 75 women in Turkey. All women are 25 to 65 years old and need to have a colposcopy.
Some women cannot join the study-for example, if they are pregnant, cannot see or hear well, or take strong medicine for pain or stress.

| Perceived Stress Scale | Developed by Cohen, Kamarck and Mermelstein (20) in 1983. PSS was first developed as a 14-item scale and has two other forms, 10 and 4 items. The scale was adapted to Turkish by Eskin et al. PSS was developed to measure the level of stress an individual perceives certain situations as. Participants evaluate the items on a 5-point Likert-type scale. | Before and after colposcopy at 5 min. |
| State Anxiety Inventory | This scale, developed by Spielberger and his colleagues, consists of two subscales, trait and state, each consisting of 20 questions. The state anxiety scale measures how an individual feels at a certain moment and under certain conditions, while the trait anxiety scale determines how an individual feels regardless of the situation and conditions they are in. The score obtained from the reversed statements is subtracted from the score obtained from the direct statements, and 50 is added to the resulting number for the state anxiety scale and 35 for the trait anxiety scale. The scores obtained from both scales vary between 20-80. As the score obtained from the scale increases, it is evaluated that the person's anxiety level is also high. The adaptation of the scale to Turkish, its validity and reliability study were conducted by Öner and Le Compt | Before and after colposcopy procedure 5 min. |
| Visual Analog Scale | The most commonly used and simplest scale. The scale includes numbers between 0-10, where "0" represents no pain and "10" represents the most severe pain. It is an easy-to-understand scale. | Before and after colposcopy procedure 5 min. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Patient Satisfaction Scale | "Would you rate your overall satisfaction during the colposcopy procedure on a scale of 0 to 10?" will be asked (0: Not satisfied at all - 10: Very satisfied) | 5 minutes after colposcopy procedure |
| Pulse measurement |
