Achtergrond van het onderzoek
Patients experience different levels of anxiety before, during and after a surgical operation. The perception of a certain operation will depend on the procedure itself but also on the levels of stress and anxiety a patient go through. To positively affect the experience of an operation we need to reduce the stress and anxiety a patient encounter during the process of an operation.
The 'HappyMed' video glasses is an innovative portable multimedia system which can be used during an operation to try to reduce the stress and anxiety levels of the patient. This could be achieved by watching and listening to a movie with the 'HappyMed' video glasses.
This research addresses the potential benefits of use of the ‘HappyMed’ videoglasses in terms of lowering anxiety and perceived pain in the outpatient setting during selected orthopedic procedures with an deemed operation time of at least 30 minutes.
Doel van het onderzoek
