Clinical Trial Summary

The needles of port catheters, which are often used in childhood cancer treatment, must be changed every 5-7 days, which causes pain, anxiety, and fear in children every 5-7 days In recent years, the usage of virtual reality has grown to distract children during port catheter needle insertion. But it's not always easy for children to switch their attention to something else. A good child distractor must be sensory-stimulating, developmentally appropriate, and highly interactive.


Description:

Today, virtual reality applications have advanced, and software that provides biofeedback with breathing has improved engagement with the user. Our aim in this study is to examine the effect of biofeedback-based virtual reality games on pair, fear and anxiety levels during insertion of port needle insertion in children. The randomized control trial design will be used, and The CONSORT list will be used to guide the research. This study will be conducted at the 62 pediatric oncology patients (31 experiment/ 31 control) aged 6-12 years. This study will be carry out in a university hospital in Istanbul, Turkey between January 2023, and June 2023. The research data will collect from the children's self-reports and parents through a survey form and scales. Children's pain will evaluate by the children and parent with Wong-Baker Faces Pain Rating Scale, child fear will evaluate by the children and parent with 'Child Fear Inventory', and child anxiety will evaluate by the children and parent with 'Child Anxiety Statement Scale'.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Wong-Baker Faces Pain Rating Scale Wong-Baker Faces Pain Rating Scale. It is used in the assessment of pain in children. The scale consists of six facial expressions. Facial expressions range from 0 points of "no pain-very happy" to 10 points of "unbearable pain-crying". It is commonly used in children aged 3-18. It has good validity and reliability for the measurement of pain severity and is psychometrically suitable and widely used in clinical practice. Evaluation will be done approximately 5 minutes after port catheter needle placement.
Primary The Child Fear Scale (CFS) The Child Fear Scale (CFS). It measures procedure-related fear in children. It consists of five sex-neutral faces; 0 (no fear) - 4 (extreme fear). It is based on the Faces Anxiety Scale. The FAS changed developmentally to the CFS. It can be used by the parents during the procedure for 5-10 years old children. Assessment of construct validity revealed high concurrent convergent validity with another self-report measure of fear and moderate discriminant validity with coping and distress behavior. It will be evaluated 5-minute before the insertion of port needle.

It is based on the Faces Anxiety Scale. The FAS changed developmentally to the CFS. It can be used by the parents during the procedure for 5-10 years old children. Assessment of construct validity revealed high concurrent convergent validity with another self-report measure of fear and moderate discriminant validity with coping and distress behavior. It will be evaluated 5-minute after the insertion of port needle.
Primary The Children's Anxiety Meter (CAM) The Children's Anxiety Meter (CAM). It assesses children's anxiety in clinical settings and uses before medical procedures. The CAM is drawn like a thermometer with a bulb at the bottom, also includes horizontal lines at intervals going up to the top. Children are asked to mark how he/she feel "right now" to measure state anxiety (CAM-S). (Kleiber & Mccarthy, 2006). Scores range from 0 to 10. It validated at children aged 4-10 years during an intravenous procedure.CAM were administered by the researcher to the children to assess their anxiety levels about blood draw before and after the blood draw procedure. It will be evaluated 5-minute before the insertion of port needle.
