A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of Virtual Reality (VR) glasses in reducing surgical fear and anxiety in women undergoing their first cesarean section. Eligible participants will be randomly assigned to either a VR glasses group, where they will watch a 30-minute video on fetal development before surgery, or a control group that will only have their anxiety levels measured. The study will assess the differences in anxiety scores between the two groups before and after the cesarean section. The goal is to determine if the VR intervention can significantly alleviate anxiety associated with the surgical procedure.
