Brief summary
This study aims to evaluate the effect of virtual reality on pain and clinical outcomes during hydrotherapy for children with burn.
Interventions
BEHAVIORALVirtual reality
artificial construction of 3D environment via mobile technology. It included a head-mounted device (HMD) with 3D-enabled goggles, sensory input devices and headphones, which together allow a multisensory experience to divert a child's attention.

Intervention model description
virtual reality intervention which will take place using a cell phone coupled with the three-dimensional image glasses. The cell phone will play three-dimensional games which will be downloaded for free. The options for images and games involved which children could choose freely, all games will be suitable for the age group of the study. • The intervention will be applied for three days when hydrotherapy session done

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Physiological parameters assessment sheet: respiratory rate | • 10 minutes before hydrotherapy session. • 5 minutes after hydrotherapy session started without VR. • 5 minutes after hydrotherapy session started using VR. • Immediately before hydrotherapy session VR. • 10 minutes after the hydrotherapy session. | cycle per minure |
| Physiological parameters assessment sheet heart rate | • 10 minutes before hydrotherapy session. • 5 minutes after hydrotherapy session started without VR. • 5 minutes after hydrotherapy session started using VR. • Immediately before hydrotherapy session VR. • 10 minutes after the hydrotherapy session. | beat per minute |
| Physiological parameters assessment sheet:O2 saturation. | • 10 minutes before hydrotherapy session. • 5 minutes after hydrotherapy session started without VR. • 5 minutes after hydrotherapy session started using VR. • Immediately before hydrotherapy session VR. • 10 minutes after the hydrotherapy session. | More than 95% |
| The clinical data assessment sheet:cause of burn, total body surface area burned, location of the burn, number of wounds, and the number of hydrotherapy sessions already undergoing. | • 10 minutes before hydrotherapy session. . | clinical data |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Pain Assessment Scale | • 10 minutes before hydrotherapy session. • 5 minutes after hydrotherapy session started without VR. • 5 minutes after hydrotherapy session started using VR. • Immediately before hydrotherapy session VR. • 10 minutes after the hydrotherapy session. | The behavioral/observational pain scale that adopted from (Merkel et al, 1997) will be used in this study to evaluate the children's pain intensity using the FLACC categories. Each of the five categories (F)face, (L) Legs, (A) Activity, (C) Cry, (C) Consol ability, is scored 0-2, which result in total pain rating scale 0-10 (0 = no pain, relaxed and comfortable, 10 = severe pain/discomfort). |
