H02; In the HSG procedure, there was no difference between the anxiety score of the virtual reality group and the anxiety score of the control group.

H03; In the HSG procedure, there was no difference between the satisfaction score of the virtual reality group and the satisfaction score of the control group.

The study will be carried out in two different groups. The practice will start with meeting the women who apply to the Radiology clinic for an HSG. After the women are evaluated in terms of eligibility criteria for the research, the women who are eligible will be informed about the research and written informed consent will be obtained from the women who accept. The random distribution of women to the study groups will be carried out using the Block Randomization method. The following applications will be made to the groups.

Virtual reality glasses is a device that works on compatible smart mobile phones. After being taken to the gynecological table for the HSG procedure, the women included in the experimental group will be made to watch a video lasting an average of 10 minutes with virtual reality glasses until the procedure is completed. While watching the video, the relaxing music of the video will be played in the practice room with a bluetooth speaker.
