Summary
This study tests whether using virtual reality for relaxation exercises can reduce pain and improve sleep better than traditional relaxation methods in people recovering from hip or knee replacement surgery. About 82 adults who speak Turkish and have no mental or sleep disorders will participate. Both groups will do relaxation exercises, but one group will use VR goggles to enhance the experience.
