Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Standard of Care
No research intervention to be administered.
Participants will have standard preparation for a procedure including discussion of the procedure with the provider the day before the procedure with all questions answered at that time.
No interventions assigned to this group
Virtual Reality
The VR interactive module will consist of a 360° visit to the Hospital where patients encounter the various aspects of a procedure from the front door; through the pre-operative area where patients will receive an IV; to the catheterization lab and placement of the anesthesia mask; and back to the post anesthesia care unit. Patients will be accompanied by a child who acts as a guide to the experience. The guide will help explain what the patient is seeing and what to expect along the way. Health care professionals will be enmeshed within the scenarios and will also help with the explanations along the way. Patients will be prompted to enter the relaxation scenarios at different stressful times along the tour to practice relaxation and mindfulness techniques (i.e. before IV start, or upon entering catheterization laboratory). Relaxation scenarios will include a snow scene, tropical beach or other guided imagery scenes.
Use of Virtual Reality App
The VR app will consist of relaxation techniques as well as a virtual tour of the hospital (pre-op area, IV placement, cath lab, and post-op area).
