ÖZET
 Çocuklara yapılan girişimsel uygulamalarda dikkatin başka yöne çekilmesi, ağrı ve stres kontrolünde nonfarmakolojik yöntemler kullanılmaktadır. Son yıllarda yapılan çalışmalarda ağrı ve stres yönetiminde teknolojinin kullanımı önem arz etmektedir. Gelişen teknolojinin de etkisiyle ağrı ve stres yönetiminde sanal gerçeklik gözlüğünün kullanımındaki artış dikkat çekmektedir. Bu derleme ile Türkiye'de sanal gerçeklik gözlüğünün okul çağı çocuklarının sağlığı ve hastalıklarına ilişkin uygulamalardaki kullanım alanlarını değerlendiren çalışmaların sistematik incelemesi ve yapılacak diğer çalışmalara rehberlik etmek amaçlanmıştır. Çalışmada, Türkçe ve İngilizce ''sanal gerçeklik gözlüğü ve/veya çocuk sağlığı (virtual reality glasses and/or child health)'' anahtar kelimeleri kullanılarak Google Akademik, PubMed, Cochrane Library, Ulusal Tez Merkezi, Dergi Park arama motorlarından 2021 yıl sonunu da dâhil edebilmek adına 18 Ekim 2021 tarihinde başlayarak 31 Aralık 2021 tarihine kadar tarama yapılmıştır. Anahtar kelimelerle yapılan literatür taraması sonucu 54 çalışmaya ulaşılmıştır. Çalışmalar, PRISMA kriterlerine göre değerlendirilmiştir. Yapılan analizde yarı deneysel, deneysel ve randomize kontrollü deneysel çalışmalar derlemeye dâhil edilmiştir. Dâhil etme ve dışlama kriterleri dâhilinde 45 çalışma kapsam dışı kalmıştır. Sonuç olarak başlık, özet ve tam metine göre yapılan seçimlerden sonra 2 makale ve 7 tez değerlendirmeye alınmıştır. Yapılan bu sistematik derlemede ele alınan araştırmalarda, çocuk sağlığı alanında invaziv ve ağrılı işlemler esnasında dikkati başka yöne çekme yöntemlerinden biri olan sanal gerçeklik gözlüğü uygulamasının, çocukların ağrı ve anksiyete algısını olumlu yönde etkilediği sonucuna varılmıştır.

Anahtar Kelimeler: Sanal gerçeklik gözlüğü; çocuk sağlığı
ABSTRACT
 Nonpharmacologic methods are used for distraction, pain and stress control in interventional procedures performed on children. In recent studies, the use of technology in pain and stress management is important. With the effect of developing technology, the increase in the use of virtual reality glasses in pain and stress management draws attention. With this review, it is aimed to systematically review the studies evaluating the use of virtual reality glasses in applications related to school age child health and diseases in Türkiye and it is intended to guide other studies to be carried out. In the study, using the keywords ''virtual reality glasses and/or child health'' in Turkish and English, Google Scholar, PubMed, Cochrane Library, National Thesis Center, Magazine Park search engines also search for the end of 2021 year. In order to be able to include them, scanning was carried out starting from October 18, 2021 until December 31, 2021. As a result of the literature search with keywords, 54 studies were reached. Studies were evaluated according to PRISMA criteria. In the analysis, quasi-experimental, experimental and randomized controlled experimental studies were included in the review. Forty-four studies were excluded within the inclusion and exclusion criteria. As a result, after the selections made according to the title, abstract and full text, 2 articles and 7 theses were evaluated. In the studies discussed in this systematic review, it was concluded that the application of virtual reality glasses, which is one of the methods of distraction during invasive and painful procedures in the field of child health, positively affects children's perception of pain and anxiety.
