About this study

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether different forms of media (2D, 360, or 360 in virtual reality) have different impacts on pre-procedural anxiety and post-procedural pain in children. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does one type (and richness) of media reduce pre-procedural anxiety and post-procedural pain more than another type of media? For example, will learning about an upcoming procedure by watching a 360 video in virtual reality reduce pre-procedural anxiety more than learning about the same upcoming procedure by watching it in a 2D video or 360 video? The second question is whether watching a 360 video in VR about an upcoming procedure more effective in reducing pre-procedural anxiety and post-procedural pain compared to the 2D video or the 360 video without VR groups for specific procedures? For example, is watching an explanation of a procedure in VR always more effective in reducing pre-procedural anxiety and post-procedural pain, or is it procedure specific (i.e., watching a video about surgery preparation is more effective in VR, but for cast removal it doesn't matter whether participants learn about their procedure viewed through VR, 360 video, or 2D)?
