\n

The College of Nursing at Baghdad University discussed a master’s thesis titled “A comparative study between virtual reality and the ShotBlocker maneuver to manage pain, anxiety and vital signs in patients during bone marrow biopsy”. The thesis was written by Tahsin Faleh Hassan<\/p>\n

The study aimed to evaluate the effect of both VR and the ShotBlocker maneuver, as well as the use of both in combination, in reducing p and anxiety and improving patients’ vital signs during bone marrow biopsy
\nThe results showed statistically significant differences in pain and anxiety scores when VR and the ShotBlocker maneuver were use<\/p>\n

together, compared to when they were used separately. The average pain and anxiety scores were significantly lower when the two technologies were combined. Statistically significant differences were observed in heart rate, respiration, and systolic and diastolic blood pressure between the groups<\/p>\n

The study recommended the simultaneous use of VR and the Shot Blocker maneuver for patients undergoing bone marrow aspiration a biopsy in hematology centers. The researcher received a grade of “very good”<\/p>\n

This study directly contributes to the third Sustainable Development Goal: “Good health and well-being”. By providing effective, non-pharmacological ways to manage pain and anxiety, the study improves the patient experience during painful medical procedures. This not only improves the quality of healthcare, but also contributes to the psychological and physical well-being of patients, reflecting a commitment to a holistic, human-centered approach to care<\/p>\n
