Fear of the dentist is a very common phenomenon which delays consultations and brings negative consequences on oral and general health. Virtual reality (VR) reduces children's pain and anxiety during dental care or oral surgery. The aim of this prospective, randomized and controlled study is to show the effectiveness of virtual reality to reduce anxiety in a sample of adults during tooth avulsions under local anesthesia. There is a group with virtual reality and a control group without virtual reality. Patients complet the State Trait Anxiety Inventory - State - (STAI-YA) questionnaire and the visual analog anxiety scale (VAS) just before and just after the surgery by transcribing the anxiety they feel during it. The main judgement criterion is the evolution of the STAI-YA score before vs during the surgery. Secondary criteria are the relevance of the chosen metric by comparing it to the VAS, defining the factors influencing the evolution of the anxiety score, studying the side effects of VR and the wish to repeat the experience.

Thymus vulgaris could potentially serve as a safer alternative to stimulant drugs for enhancing memory among university students. Furthermore, Thymus vulgaris may offer additional benefits in terms of reducing anxiety, depression, and improving sleep quality. However, it should be noted that the current research on the effects of orally administered Thymus vulgaris on the brain and nervous system is limited, and further studies are required to fully explore its potential advantages. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of oral Thymus vulgaris on memory performance, anxiety, depression, and sleep quality in university students.

Virtual Reality (VR) applications, one of the commonly emphasized approaches in the medical field recently, is in place as an intervention method applicable in various fileds of medicine for distraction, experiencing being exposed to events creating stress and palliating anxiety through providing materials which may distract the patient's attention from a stressful condition. The study has been planned in order to evaluate the effect of the notification regarding the theatre environment through virtual reality to the patients, who are to go through abdominal surgical intervention, on the anxiety level and the vital signs during the surgical intervention. Being a non-pharmacological clinical randomize controlled one, the study shall be conducted in Dr. Burhan Nalbantoğlu State Hospital of TRNC Ministry of Health surgical service and preoperative waiting area. Sample number has been determined through power analysis using G*Power 3.1.9.2 software. Taking (2017) "The effect of virtual reality in reducing preoperative anxiety in patients prior to arthroscopic knee surgery: A randomised controlled trial" study of Robertson and friends as the reference, the effect size, regarding the anxiety scores of experiment and control groups participants, has been determined as 0,63. Accordingly, sample size has been calculated as 71 people necessary for 95% (1-β=0,95) power at d=0,63 and α=0,05 levels. Taking into account there may be losses during the study, it has been planned to involve 80 people, so as to have 40 people per each group, in the study. Since the patients, who are to be involved in the study, are not known; in order to assign same quantity of patients to each group prior to the study, randomization shall be done through using block randomization technique in GraphPad software so as to have 40 patients in the intervention group and 40 in the control group. The patients who receive standard clinical care prior to abdominal surgical intervention shall constitute the control group, the patients who receive information about operating room environment through VR goggles in addition to standard clinical care shall constitute the intervention group. The data shall be collected through "Individual characteristics Form", ''Patient Charts'', ''Surgical Anxiety Scale'', ''Galvanic Skin Sensor (GSS) Measurement Table''. SPSS 26 Statistical analysis program shall be used for evaluating the study data. The acquired data shall be tested at 95% confidence interval, p<0,05 level of significance. Number, percentage distributon and standard deviation for the definitive data analysis, chi square test for experiment and control groups' basic particulars similarity, Shapiro-Wilk for normality analysis of dependent variables, Student t test or Annova for the comparison of pre-test and final test scores of experiment control groups, the comparisons of variables giving normal distribution among the groups as per the normal distributon in the comparison of experiment control groups' pre-test and final test scores, Mann Whitney U test or Kruskal Wallis test for the variables of non-normal distribution shall be used.

In this study, it was aimed to determine the anxiety levels and comfort levels of the patients using stress ball in patients receiving hemodialysis treatment. This study was conducted as a randomized controlled trial. The universe of the study consisted of 156 patients receiving HD treatment at a special hemodialysis center. The study was completed with a total of 63 patients, including 31 people in the intervention group and 32 people in the control group, who met the criteria for inclusion in the study between 27.02.2023 and 27.03.2023. The individual demonstration form was used to collect data, the Visual Analog scale (VAS) for stress level and the hemodialysis comfort scale.

The aim of this study was to examine the effect of the Helfer Skin Tapping technique on pain, fear, and anxiety in children who received intramuscular injections. The research hypotheses are as follows: H0: There is no significant difference between the intervention group and the the control group in the mean score of the "Wong-Baker FACES Pain Rating Scale", "Child Fear Scale", and "Child Anxiety Scale-State" during and after the Helfer Skin Tapping technique. H1: During and after the Helfer Skin Tapping technique, the mean score of the "Wong-Baker FACES Pain Rating Scale", "Child Fear Scale", and "Child Anxiety Scale-State" is significantly lower in the intervention group compared to the control group.

Purpose: The study was conducted to examine the effect of web-based progressive muscle relaxation exercise on the perceived stress and anxiety level of nursing students who were in clinical practice for the first time. Method: This randomized controlled study was conducted at a state university in Turkey. The sample of the study consisted of a total of 66 nursing students, 36 of whom were control and 30 interventions, who were educated in the 2021-2022 academic year, were in clinical practice for the first time and agreed to participate in the research. The intervention group was asked to perform a total of 36 sessions of progressive muscle relaxation exercise, 3 days a week for 12 weeks. Data; It was collected using the "Sociodemographic Characteristics Form", "State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (DSQ)" and "Perceived Stress Inventory (PSI)".

The purpose of this study is to identify the effects of music on the anxiety and sleep quality of women with high-risk pregnancy having bed rest in the hospital in Turkey. This randomized-controlled study involved 80 control and 80 experimental group with a high-risk pregnant woman .
