Study Summary
This study will evaluate the effectiveness of using virtual reality (VR) to reduce distress in pediatric patients undergoing MRI scans compared to other methods of preparation. Children will be divided into four groups. The investigators hypothesize the children who receive Child Life preparation with VR will experience decreased distress compared to the other 3 treatment groups (no formal preparation, Child Life-led preparation, and MRI preparation video). The investigators also hypothesize that children who receive Child Life-led preparation will experience better decreased distress than current standard of care (no formal preparation) and MRI preparation video.
Primary Outcome
Pre-procedural anxiety level of the child will be collected via child self-report and staff report before the MRI scan. Patient and Staff will report child's anxiety using a Visual Analog Scale with anchors "Not Anxious" and "Very Anxious." VAS scores will range from 1-100, with lower scores indicating less anxiety.
Interventions
- BEHAVIORAL Child Life-led preparation
- BEHAVIORAL MRI preparation video
- BEHAVIORAL KindVR Virtual Reality MRI Preparation Experience
