This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the effect of a virtual reality (VR) video intervention on fear of childbirth and anxiety among hospitalized high-risk pregnant women receiving bed rest. High-risk pregnancy and prolonged hospitalization may increase psychological distress, including fear of childbirth and anxiety. Virtual reality has emerged as a non-pharmacological distraction technique that promotes relaxation by immersing individuals in calming virtual environments. Participants in the intervention group will watch a nature-themed VR video with relaxing sounds using a VR headset in addition to routine care, while the control group will receive routine care only. The findings may provide evidence for the use of VR as a supportive nursing intervention to improve the psychological well-being of hospitalized high-risk pregnant women.

In addition to routine obstetric and nursing care, participants assigned to the virtual reality group will receive a virtual reality intervention. Women in this group will wear a virtual reality headset while resting in bed and watch a relaxing 360° nature video accompanied by calming natural sounds for approximately 30 minutes. The virtual reality intervention is designed to promote relaxation and reduce fear of childbirth and anxiety during hospitalization.
Participants assigned to the control group will receive routine obstetric and nursing care only. No additional intervention will be administered.
