Summary

This study is a randomized controlled experimental study conducted to determine effect of using virtual reality headset during venipuncture on pain level, heart rate and oxygen saturation values among 7-12 year-old children. The data were collected from 102 children coming to vaccination room of an university hospital's pediatric outpatient clinic. Before the venipuncture, state anxiety scores of children in both groups were evaluated. The children in experimental group wore virtual reality headset during the venipuncture. The children in control group were subjected to standard venipuncture procedure. Before, during and after the venipuncture, pulse and oxygen saturation values were measured.

Virtual Reality

5 minutes before the procedure, they were recorded on 'Child and Parent Information Form', State-Trait Anxiety Inventory for Children and FPS-R. Their heart rate and oxygen saturation values were read and recorded. Children wore the virtual reality headset and game was started one minute before the venipuncture. As soon as the injector inserted, the researcher turned on a stopwatch and read and recorded heart rate and oxygen saturation values. When the injector was removed, the researcher stopped the stopwatch and recorded the duration of the procedure.When the injector was removed, the stopwatch was stopped and heart rate and oxygen saturation were recorded. The children took off the virtual reality headset and were asked to evaluate their pain level through FPS-R and their responses were recorded.
