Use of Virtual Reality for Pediatric Minor Surgical Procedures

Evaluation of Technology-Based Distractions In Pediatric Patients During General Surgery Minor Procedures

Can the procedure be completed without general anesthesia or procedure sedation. Surgeons will be provided with a self-report survey documenting completion of the procedure. This will be assessed by the surgeon completing the procedure who will answer via questionnaire.

The Children's Fear Scale (McMurty et al. 2011) is a self-reported scale that uses cartoon depictions of faces to quantify on a 0-4 scale how scared a child is at the given moment

Parents will complete a modified Pain Catastrophizing Scale for Parents (PCS-P) before and after the procedure. This survey identifies the thoughts and feelings of the parent in relation to the pain their child may experience during the procedure. Scores range from 1 (not at all) to 5 (very much).

The Face Pain Scale (Hicks et. al., 2001) is a self-reported scale that uses cartoon depictions of faces to quantify on a scale 0-10 scale how pain a child is experiencing at a given moment.

A satisfaction survey will be provided to caregivers which will document how satisfied they were using the intervention, if they believed it helped them, if they would choose to use the intervention again and if they would recommend the intervention.

Surgeons will be provided with a self-report survey asking their satisfaction with the technology, the patients' immersion with the technology, and the desire for use in future procedures based on a 1-5 scale.

Hospital cost data for the procedure will be collected. The difference in cost for patients using general anesthesia versus using virtual reality will then be calculated

Participants will fill out a survey to document their anxiety during and after the procedure. Anxiety will be measured on a visual analogue scale using the Childhood Anxiety Meter (0-10) where participants will fill in a scale of how anxious they were during and after the procedure. Higher values represent a worse outcome (i.e. higher level of anxiety).
