Congratulations to the ECND23 Joint Competition winners!

ESRA IBEK and her team from Bursa Uludağ University Medical Faculty Hospital Health Application and Research Center, in Turkey, won for their video ‘Distraction-Based Interventions During İmplanted Venous Port Catheter Needle Insertion: A Virtual Reality Application’. Through virtual reality glasses, patients watch three-dimensional video nature images, accompanied by music during the needle insertion of the implanted venous port catheter. Esra said: “This notably increased the comfort level and satisfaction of the patients and changed their perception of time, making it go more quickly.”
