OculusQuest 2 128GB brand virtual reality glasses will be used in our research. OculusQuest 2 128GB is the original all-in-one gaming system for virtual reality. It can only be used as desired with the VR headset and controllers. It adapts to its environment. In this way, it can be played standing and sitting in small and large areas. When glasses will be used on another pregnant women within the scope of COVID-19 measures, disinfection will be provided with 'DiverseyOxivir Plus (hydrogen peroxide)' surface disinfectant. Before the episiotomy repair, the video glasses will be opened, the video will be adjusted to suit the woman. In order for the repair method to be the same for all women, It will be planned to use absorbable, synthetic, braided, sterile surgical thread produced from 1-0 polyglactin.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Socio-Demographic Data Collection Form

Pregnant Introductory Information Form is a questionnaire prepared by researchers using the literature.

Time frame: in active phase on labor (4 cm vaginal dilatation)

State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI)-Questionnaire

State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI)-Questionnaire \[ Time Frame: up to one hour \] STAI was used to measure the anxiety level of pregnant women. It was developed by Spielberger et al. (Spielberger et al., 1970) and Öner and Le Compte conducted a Turkish validity and reliability study of the scale (Öner \& LeCompte, 1983). In the scale, individuals are provided to express their feelings with 40 expressions. With the state anxiety scale, it is possible to determine how the individual feels at the moment and in the conditions, and with the trait anxiety scale, how he feels outside of the current situation and conditions. The scale is a 4-point Likert type.The last score obtained shows the anxiety level of the individual. High scores from the scale indicate an increased level of anxiety, low scores indicate a decrease.

Time frame: immediately before repair episiotomy

Visual Analog Scale-Pain (VAS-P)

The VAS-P, which is used to evaluate the severity of pain, is a 10 cm long horizontally or vertically drawn ruler, starting with "No pain (0)" and ending with "Unbearable pain (10)". The woman is asked to show the point on this line that corresponds to the intensity of pain she feels. The distance between the marked point and the starting end of the line (0=no pain) is measured in centimeters and the numerical value found shows the severity of the patient's pain (Hayes and Patterson 1921). VAS-P is accepted as a safe, valid and usable measurement tool in repeated measurements. In this study, horizontally prepared VAS-P was used to assess pain intensity.

Time frame: immediately before repair episiotomy
