Clinical Trial Summary

IInvasive procedures such as suturing cause pain and fear in children. The high level of pain and fear of children makes it difficult to adapt to the procedure. It is a randomized controlled study planned to examine the effect of watching videos with virtual reality glasses as a distraction method while suturing in 7-12 age group children. Araştırma Acil Müdahale Odasında 01 Ekim 2022-31 Mart 2023 tarihlerinde yürütülmesi planlanmaktadır. In the collection of data; It is planned to use the Child Information Form, Wong-Baker Pain Scale, Child Fear Scale, which was created as a result of the literature review.


Description:

TChildren may feel pain and fear during invasive procedures in the emergency room. The methodology of the research planned to be conducted in the Emergency Service with the participation of 84 children who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria between 01 October 2022 and 31 March 2023 is explained below. Children who apply to the emergency department due to an incision come to the emergency room and suturing takes place in this room. Two nurses work in this room, which is approximately 20 square meters, located at the entrance of the emergency room. G*Power 3.1.9.4 program was used to determine the number of children to be included in the study and control groups. In order for the difference between the study and control groups to be statistically significant in the study to be conducted, taking into account the previous studies, a total of at least 84 children (42 studies, 42 control groups) with 0.55 effect size, 80% power and 5% type 1 error according to the t test) is planned to be included in the study. Hypothesis 10: : There is no difference in pain scores before, during and after suturing procedure in children watching videos with virtual reality glasses compared to the control group. Hypothesis 11: There is a difference in pain scores before, during and after suturing in children watching videos with virtual reality glasses compared to the control group. Hypothesis 20: There is no difference between the fear scores of children watching videos with virtual reality glasses before, during and after suturing compared to the control group. Hypothesis 22: There is a difference between the fear scores of children watching videos with virtual reality glasses before, during and after suturing compared to the control group. 84 children will be assigned as study (42) and control (42) by block randomization method. In the study, block randomization will be done to eliminate selection bias and to provide balance in the number of individuals. The determined blocks will be created by the statistician with the codes obtained from the permutation-based computer program (https://www.randomizer.org). Then, it will be determined whether A and B are the experimental or control group by drawing lots. After the patient is evaluated according to the inclusion/exclusion criteria, self-tests will be performed by obtaining consent. In the research, single blinding will be done so that the participants will not know that they are in the experimental and control groups. In the collection of data; It is planned to use the Child Information Form, Wong-Baker Pain Scale, Child Fear Scale, which was created as a result of the literature review. In the research, video surveillance with virtual reality glasses will form the intervention group. Three minutes before watching the video with the Virtual Reality Glasses, the cartoon chosen by the child (Puzzle Tower and Z Team from the cartoons broadcast on TRT children) will be started to be watched. Pain and fear scores will be recorded before, during and after the procedure. Each child will be shown 1 episode of cartoons. This time is approximately 15 minutes. The data will be recorded before, during and after the procedure by the parent and the researcher. Researchers will definitely not perform suturing. The same health personnel will perform the suturing procedure. During the suturing procedure, data will be collected from the child by the researcher. A statistical package program will be used in the evaluation of the data. The scale mean scores of the groups will be evaluated with descriptive statistics (mean, percentage, frequency, etc.). The relevant statistics will be made according to the normality of the distribution.
