Summary
This research will be conducted to examine the effects of virtual reality on sleep quality and comfort in older adults. This research will be conducted as a single-blind, randomized controlled experimental study with a pre-test-post-test design, involving application and control groups, to examine the effect of virtual reality on sleep quality and comfort in elderly adult patients hospitalized in the internal medicine and surgical clinics of Kars Harakani State Hospital between December 15, 2025, and December 31, 2026. To inform older adults, and after obtaining informed consent, the study will be administered using a "Senior Adult Descriptive Information Form" containing demographic information about older adults, the Standardized Mini Mental Test which assesses the cognitive level of older adults, and a "Senior Adult Monitoring Form" to track any potential side effects of the intervention. The Senior Adult Descriptive Information Form, the Richards-Campbell Sleep Scale (RCSQ), and the VAS Comfort Scale (VCS) will be used to collect data for the study. Data will be collected from elderly adults hospitalized in the internal medicine and surgical clinics of Kars Harakani State Hospital who meet the research criteria. They will be shown 360-degree video images (Chitra and Eremita 2023; Eremita and Chitra 2024) for 20 minutes each night during their hospitalization hours using VR Shinecon virtual reality glasses.
