About this trial
The process of dressing burn injuries has been shown to cause both physical and psychological difficulties. In children, this process is particularly associated with intense pain and anxiety. Consequently, in addition to pharmacological interventions, non-pharmacological methods such as distraction are employed. In recent years, the utilization of holograms as a method of alleviating pain has emerged as a novel approach. The employment of these visual illusions has been demonstrated to effectively distract children, thereby providing a means of reducing discomfort. The objective of this thesis is to evaluate the effects of hologram application on pain, anxiety, fear, and vital signs during burn dressing in children.

Treatments tested in this trial
The visual presentation utilizes a three-dimensional holographic fan device.
DeviceThis study is among the first to examine the effect of holographic fan technology on pain, anxiety, and fear in children during burn dressing. In comparison with other distraction methods, holographic fans represent a novel technological intervention designed to mitigate pain and anxiety by engaging children's attention through the use of visual illusions. Furthermore, extant studies on the effectiveness of this technology during prolonged and distressing procedures, such as burn dressing, have been found to lack sufficient data.
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
The Wong-Baker Faces Pain Rating Scale:
Measures the pain levels of children by describing their facial expressions. There are six different facial expressions, the lowest score is 0 and the highest score is 5.
Secondary outcomes
Children's Fear Scale (CFS):
The level of fear is measured based on the change in facial muscle movements in children at the time of fear. The lowest score is 0 and the highest score is 4.
Other outcomes
State-Trait Anxiety Inventory for Children /STAI-CH):
The State Anxiety Scale for Children is a self-report scale that evaluates children's momentary anxiety levels. The scale evaluates state anxiety based on emotions such as nervousness, tension, and uneasiness, and measures children's anxiety levels between 20 and 60 points.
