Virtual reality (VR) glasses are used as a midwifery intervention to reduce anxiety, stress, comfort and pain by drawing the individual's attention in a different direction. VR glasses are a stress induction method that provides a fictional reality simulation with visual-visual orientation and three-dimensional views that allow the person to experience real-time perspective. Women may experience pain at different levels in the postpartum period. Pain affects the woman's emotional state and severe pain can cause anxiety in the woman. Pain in the postpartum period is usually caused by rapid and intermittent contractions of the uterus. The application of pressure to the uterine fundus by the midwife to evaluate the amount of postpartum bleeding and the tone of the uterus may increase the woman's pain and anxiety level and may also cause deterioration in her general comfort. Considering this information, it is thought that the relaxing effect of using virtual glasses during the uterine ton

The Visual Analog Scale will be used to assess the pain that will occur during the postpartum uterine tone assessment. VAS is a scale created between 0-10 cm. According to the scale, 0 cm: pain is not severe at all, 10 cm: unbearable pain. On the scale, 0-44 mm indicates mild pain, 45-74 mm indicates moderate pain, and 75-100 mm indicates severe pain.

The inventory, which was developed by Spielberger, Gorsuch and Lushene in 1970 and whose validity and reliability in Turkish were made by Öner and Le Compte in 1985, consists of 20 items measuring state anxiety. The State Anxiety Inventory (SAI) requires the individual to describe how he/she feels at a certain moment and under certain conditions. The inventory is answered using 4-point scales. The feelings and behaviors expressed in the State Anxiety Inventory items are indicated by selecting one of the options "(1) Not at all, (2) A little, (3) A lot and (4) Completely" according to the degree of severity of such experiences. There are 10 reverse items in the SAI. These are items 1, 2, 5, 8, 10, 11, 15, 16, 19 and 20. The remaining items 3, 4, 6, 7, 9, 12, 13, 14, 17, and 18 directly measure the expression. Two separate keys are prepared to determine the total weights of the direct and reverse items in scoring. The total weighted score obtained for the direct statements is subtracted

The Postpartum Comfort Scale is a 5-point Likert-type scale developed by Karakaplan and Yıldız (2010) to measure comfort levels. Scoring and expressions ranging from "completely agree" (5 points) to "completely disagree" (1 point) were made for all scale items. The expression "completely agree" represents the highest comfort (5 points) in positive sentences, while it represents the lowest comfort (1 point) in negative sentences. In this case, the highest score that can be obtained from the scale is 170, and the lowest score is 34. An increase in the mean score obtained from the scale indicates that the comfort level has also increased. The Cronbach's Alpha reliability coefficient of the scale was found to be .78 for the total DSKÖ.
