This study aims to evaluate the effect of virtual reality glasses on pain perception and anxiety levels during intrauterine device insertion in women. Participants undergoing intrauterine device insertion will be randomly assigned to either a virtual reality invervention group or a standard care control group. Pain intensity and anxiety levels will be assessed during and after the procedure using validated measurement tools. The findings of this study may contribute to improving patient comfort during intrauterine device insertion.
This randomized controlled study will be conducted among women scheduled for intrauterine device insertion. Eligible participants will be randomly allocated into two groups: a virtual reality intervention group and a control group receiving standard care. Participants in the intervention group will be use virtual reality glasses during the intrauterine device insertion procedure, while the control group will undergo the procedure without virtual reality. Pain intensity will be measured using a validated pain scale during and after the procedure. Anxiety levels will be assessed using a validated state anxiety measurement tool. Sociodemographic and clinical characteristics of participants will also be recorded. The study will be conducted in accordance with ethical principles, and informed consent will be obtained from all participants.

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Pain insensity during IUD insertion | Pain severity will be measured immediately after the IUD insertion procedure using the Visual Analog Scale | Ä°mmediately after the procedure |
| Pain catastrophizing(Pain Catastrophizing Scale, PCS) | Pain catastrophizing will be assessed immediatel the IUD insertion procedure using the Pain Catastrophizing Scale(PCS;13 items). Higher scores indicate greater catastrophizing. | Ä°mmediately after the procedure |
| State Anxiety level(STAI-S) | State anxiety will be measured immediately after the procedure using the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory- State Subscale(STAI-S). Higher scores indicate greater anxiety. | Ä°mmediately after the procedure |
