Effect of Short-Video Distraction During Burn Dressing on Anxiety, Pain, and Fear in Children

Sponsor: Samsun University

Summary

Burn dressing procedures can cause pain, anxiety, and fear in children. Distraction techniques may help children cope with these procedures and improve their comfort. This randomized controlled trial will evaluate whether watching short videos before and during burn dressing reduces anxiety, pain, and fear in children aged 5 to 12 years. Eligible children scheduled for elective burn dressing will be randomly assigned to either a short-video distraction group or a control group. Children in the short-video distraction group will watch age-appropriate short videos of their choice on a smartphone or tablet for approximately 20 minutes before the procedure, and video viewing will continue during the burn dressing procedure when feasible. Children in the control group will receive routine care without an additional video-based distraction intervention. Anxiety, pain, and fear will be assessed at predefined time points before and during the procedure using standardized assessment tools. The primary objective is to determine whether short-video distraction reduces peri-procedural anxiety compared with routine care.
