Brief summary
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.
Detailed description
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.
