Summary

This pilot project aims to establish evidence to investigate whether a virtual reality intervention can be implemented to reduce anxiety and efficiently prepare children for non-sedated MRI assessments. The study consists of comparing the current modes of delivery though a mock behavioural assessment and inquiry into the acceptability and utility of the intervention components, including potential barriers to adherence or behavioural change that could have unintended consequences.

Conditions

  • Virtual Reality
  • Paediatrics
  • Radiology

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Virtual Reality Simulator

The VR intervention is underpinned by experiential learning and social cognitive theory, such that user will observe successful performance and simulation to encourage imitation and reinforce success in the assessment. All participants will be undergoing a simulation assessment with the head coil.

BEHAVIORAL

Mock MRI Simulator

The mock MRI is provided by the Child Life Specialist, according to the current care plan which consists of exposing children to the MRI simulator, medical devices, and procedures. The mock MRI is located within the medical imaging facility. All participants will be undergoing a simulation assessment with the head coil.

BEHAVIORAL

Standard Preparation Manual

The standard MRI preparation manual provides access to a series of printed photos and text showing the MRI experience step-by-step to help prepare for MRI. All participants will be undergoing a simulation assessment with the head coil.
