This study will be conducted to examine the effect of virtual reality applied during K-wire removal and dressing on the pain and fear levels that develop due to the procedure in children aged 7-12 years who apply to the orthopedic outpatient clinic.
Technology-based methods have now begun to be used to control anxiety and prevent pain that may occur before, during and after diagnosis and treatment procedures in children.
Virtual reality (VR), which is among the technological products, can be used in non-pharmacological methods as well as pharmacological methods.
It has been observed that VR, especially in children, creates an analgesic effect by mainly distracting the pain centers in the brain and evokes positive emotions with an anxiolytic effect.Since children do not want to see the procedures to be performed on them, virtual reality used during the procedure is one of the methods of diverting attention from the environment they are in. This study will be conducted to examine the effect of virtual reality applied during K-wire removal and dressing on the pain and fear levels that develop due to the procedure in children aged 7-12 years who apply to the orthopedic outpatient clinic.
Ondokuz Mayıs University is the lead sponsor of 262 studies on the registry; 68 are open to participants now.
Counted across the registry records on this site, refreshed daily.
Exclusion Criteria:
Before the K-wire is removed and dressed, the three-dimensional video that the child likes and wants to watch will be placed on virtual reality glasses and attached to the child. During the procedure, the child will be allowed to watch videos through virtual reality glasses.
Behavioral: virtual reality applied group
During the removal and dressing of the wire, the child's attention will be diverted by asking some questions (where she lives, the name of the school she attends, what grade she attends, etc.).
Before the K-wire is removed and dressed, the three-dimensional video that the child likes and wants to watch will be placed on virtual reality glasses and attached to the child. During the procedure, the child will be allowed to watch videos through virtual reality glasses.
Wong-Baker Faces Pain Scale
It is suitable for ages three and above. The pain level of the faces on the scale is explained to the child: "Face 0" indicates that there is no pain and is very happy. "Face 2" has some pain. "Face 4" has slightly more pain. "Face 6" has more pain. The pain of "Face 8" is quite severe. The pain of "Face 10" is unbearable.
Time frame: The "Wong-Baker Faces Pain Scale" will be scored 5 minutes before K-wire removal and dressing. It will be evaluated again by scoring the "Wong-Baker Faces Pain Scale" 5 minutes after the K-wire removal and dressing.
Children's Fear Scale
The scale is a scale that evaluates between 0 and 4, consisting of showing five drawn facial expressions ranging from neutral expression (0 = no anxiety) to scared face (4 = severe anxiety).
Time frame: "Child Fear Scale" scoring will be done 5 minutes before K-wire removal and dressing. It will be evaluated again by scoring the "Child Fear Scale" 5 minutes after the K-wire removal and dressing.
