Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

In recent years, technological advances have enabled the development of innovative intervention methods in healthcare. This study aims to examine the effect of augmented reality (AR) technology on pain, anxiety and fear in children during pediatric blood collection procedures. The study is based on a randomized controlled design. Participants were randomized into two groups, the group receiving AR intervention and the control group receiving standard care. Pain, anxiety and fear levels will be assessed with pre and post intervention measurements.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Control group, intervention group

This group will receive the standard blood collection procedure without any augmented reality video intervention. Pain, anxiety, and fear levels will be assessed using standardized scales after the procedure.

This group will receive the augmented reality video intervention during the blood collection procedure. The intervention consists of children watching AR videos designed to distract and comfort them during the blood draw. Pain, anxiety, and fear levels will be measured using standardized scales immediately after the procedure.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Augmented Reality Video Intervention

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

This intervention involves a video intervention using augmented reality (AR) technology to reduce the pain, anxiety and fear children experience during the blood collection process. During the intervention, children watch AR videos to distract and relax them from the blood collection process. These videos are equipped with a variety of entertaining and engaging content and aim to reduce children's psychological stress.

Control group

This group will receive the standard blood collection procedure without any augmented reality video intervention. Pain, anxiety, and fear levels will be assessed using standardized scales after the procedure.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group
