Brief Summary

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

The aim of this study is to examine the effects of augmented reality (AR) games on pain, fear, and care satisfaction, and to contribute to the literature on innovative interventions that enhance the healthcare experiences of children undergoing allergy testing.

H1: The pain level of children undergoing allergy testing in the AR group is lower than that of children in the control group.

H2: The fear level of children undergoing allergy testing in the AR group is lower than that of children in the control group.

H3: The care satisfaction level of children undergoing allergy testing in the AR group is higher than that of children in the control group.

Study Groups

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

Intervention Arm (AR Group)

Children in this group will be exposed to an augmented reality game during the allergy testing procedure. The game will be used as a distraction method to potentially reduce pain and fear, and enhance care satisfaction.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Augmented Reality

Intervention Type OTHER

In this intervention children will play an augmented reality game during the allergy testing procedure. The game will be used as a distraction method to potentially reduce pain and fear, and enhance care satisfaction.

Control Arm (Standard Care Group)

Children in this group will undergo allergy testing following standard clinical procedures without any AR intervention or distraction.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group
