Özet:

 Aim; Cancer treatment can be a very challenging and stressful process for individuals. Virtual reality technology can be used as a tool to help support individuals in this challenging treatment process. This study aimed to examine the effect of using virtual reality goggles on the spiritual well-being and life attitude of cancer patients undergoing outpatient chemotherapy. Method; This study, which was conducted in a quasi-experimental design with pre-test-post-test control group, was conducted in the outpatient chemotherapy unit of a training and research hospital between May 2023 and January 2024. The study included 42 individuals 21 control group; 21 intervention group diagnosed with cancer. The Individual Descriptive Information Form, Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy- Spiritual Well-Being Scale and Life Attitude Profile Scale were used to collect the data. Patients in the intervention group were shown videos with relaxing music background and content through virtual reality goggles during three consecutive chemotherapy cycles. Results; While 30.9 of the participants were in the age group of 32 to 50 years, 50 were in the age group of 51 to 69 years and 19.1 were in the age group of 70 years and older. In between-group comparisons, the post-test scores of the Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-Spiritual Well-Being Scale p 0.001; U 87.00 and the Life Attitude Profile Scale p 0.001; U 38.00 in the intervention group were significantly higher than in the control group. Conclusion; In this study, it was found that the use of virtual reality goggles during chemotherapy helped individuals to increase their spiritual well-being and develop a positive life attitude. In this context, the use of virtual reality goggles during chemotherapy may provide support to cancer patients and nursing practices. Keywords: Attitude, cancer, chemotherapy, spirituality, virtual reality.

 Giriş ve Amaç: Kanser tedavisi, bireyler için oldukça zorlu ve stresli bir süreç olabilmektedir. Sanal gerçeklik teknolojisi, bireylerin bu zorlu tedavi sürecinde desteklenmelerine yardımcı bir araç olarak kullanılabilir. Bu çalışma, ayaktan kemoterapi alan kanser hastalarında sanal gerçeklik gözlüğü kullanımının spiritüel iyilik hali ve yaşam tutumu üzerine etkisini incelemek amacıyla yürütüldü. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Ön test-son test kontrol gruplu yarı deneysel tasarımda yürütülen bu çalışma, Mayıs 2023-Ocak 2024 tarihleri arasında bir eğitim ve araştırma hastanesinin ayaktan kemoterapi ünitesinde gerçekleştirildi. Araştırma kapsamına kanser tanısı olan 42 21 kontrol; 21 müdahale grubu birey alındı. Verilerin toplanmasında Bireyi Tanıtıcı Bilgi Formu, Kronik Hastalık Tedavisi Fonksiyonel Değerlendirmesi-Spiritüel İyilik Hali Ölçeği ve Yaşam Tutum Profili Ölçeği kullanıldı. Müdahale grubunda bulunan hastalara ardışık üç kemoterapi kürü esnasında sanal gerçeklik gözlüğü kullanılarak, rahatlatıcı müzik fonu ve içeriğe sahip videolar izletildi. Bulgular: Katılımcıların 30,9u 32-50 yaş grubunda yer alırken, 50si 51-69 yaş grubunda, 19,1i ise 70 yaş ve üzeri yaş grubundaydı. Grup arası karşılaştırmalarda müdahale grubunda bulunan hastaların Kronik Hastalık Tedavisi Fonksiyonel Değerlendirmesi-Spiritüel İyilik Hali Ölçeği p 0,001; U 87,00 ve Yaşam Tutum Profili Ölçeği p 0,001; U 38,00 son test puanlarının kontrol grubunda bulunanlara göre anlamlı düzeyde yüksek olduğu saptandı. Sonuç: Bu çalışmada, kemoterapi esnasında sanal gerçeklik gözlüğü kullanımının bireylerin spiritüel iyilik düzeylerinin artırılmasına ve olumlu bir yaşam tutumu geliştirmelerine yardımcı olduğu tespit edildi. Bu doğrultuda kemoterapi esnasında sanal gerçeklik gözlüğünden yararlanılması, kanser hastalarına tedavi sürecinde destek sağlanmasına ve hemşirelik uygulamalarının desteklenmesine yardımcı olabilir. Anahtar kelimeler: Kanser, kemoterapi, maneviyat, sanal gerçeklik, tutum.
