It was aimed to investigate the effects of watching a video with water sound via virtual reality and listening to the sound of water through headphones on urination, fear and pain in children in the post-operative period.
Urinary retention is the inability to urinate despite a full bladder and is a common complication of surgery and anesthesia. Excessive urinary pressure and bladder distension are emergencies that can lead to kidney damage or dysfunction. Various methods are used to prevent urinary retention, including imitating the sound of running water, massaging the bladder, taking a warm bath, and perineal water flow. A literature review found no studies examining the effect of the sound of running water on pain, but found studies on other distraction methods used during painful procedures in children. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effects of watching a quiet video and listening to the sound of water in a virtual reality setting on urination, fear, and pain in the postoperative period.
