About this study
Official title: Effect of Watching Short Videos on Social Media Platforms During Burn Dressing on Anxiety, Pain, and Fear in Children: A Randomized Controlled Trial
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.
Read more
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.
Read the detailed description
Burn dressing is a potentially painful and stressful procedure, particularly in children. Repeated dressing procedures may result in procedural anxiety, fear, and pain. Non-pharmacological distraction techniques may provide a simple and low-risk approach to improving children's comfort during these procedures.
This study is designed as a prospective, randomized, controlled, parallel-group trial to investigate the effects of short-video distraction on anxiety, pain, and fear in children undergoing elective burn dressing procedures. Children aged 5-12 years who meet the eligibility criteria will be randomly allocated to a short-video distraction group or a control group.
Participants assigned to the short-video distraction group will be allowed to watch age-appropriate short videos of their choice using a smartphone or tablet for approximately 20 minutes while waiting for the procedure. Video viewing will continue during the burn dressing procedure when feasible. Participants assigned to the control group will undergo the same routine clinical process without an additional video-based distraction intervention.
Anxiety will be assessed using the modified Yale Preoperative Anxiety Scale (mYPAS). Pain will be assessed using the Wong-Baker FACES Pain Rating Scale, and procedural fear will be evaluated using a standardized fear assessment scale. Assessments will be performed at predefined peri-procedural time points.
The primary outcome will be the change in mYPAS score from arrival at the pre-procedural waiting area to immediately before transfer to the burn dressing/procedure room. Secondary outcomes will evaluate procedural pain, fear, and anxiety at additional predefined time points.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Short-Video DistractionBehavioural
Children will watch age-appropriate short videos of their choice using a smartphone or tablet for approximately 20 minutes before the burn dressing procedure, with video viewing continuing during the procedure.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Short-Video Distraction | Experimental | Children assigned to this group will watch age-appropriate short videos of their choice on a smartphone or tablet for approximately 20 minutes before the burn dressing procedure. Video viewing will continue during the burn dressing procedure. Receives: Behavioral: Short-Video Distraction |
| Control | No intervention | Children assigned to this group will receive routine care before and during the burn dressing procedure without an additional video-based distraction intervention. |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Change in Modified Yale Preoperative Anxiety Scale (mYPAS) Score
Anxiety will be assessed using the modified Yale Preoperative Anxiety Scale (mYPAS), with scores ranging from 0 to 100. Higher scores indicate greater anxiety. The primary outcome will be the change in mYPAS score from arrival at the pre-procedural waiting area to immediately before transfer to the burn dressing room.
Measured: From arrival at the pre-procedural waiting area to immediately before transfer to the burn dressing room, approximately 20 minutes
Secondary outcomes (2)
Pain Assessed Using the Wong-Baker FACES Pain Rating Scale
Pain will be assessed using the Wong-Baker FACES Pain Rating Scale at predefined peri-procedural time points. Higher scores indicate greater pain intensity.
Measured: From arrival at the pre-procedural waiting area through initiation of sedoanalgesia during the burn dressing procedure
Modified Yale Preoperative Anxiety Scale (mYPAS) Scores at Subsequent Procedural Time Points
Anxiety will be assessed using the modified Yale Preoperative Anxiety Scale (mYPAS), with scores ranging from 0 to 100. Higher scores indicate greater anxiety. mYPAS scores will be recorded at two predefined time points: upon entry into the burn dressing room and immediately before initiation of sedoanalgesia. Scores at each time point will be compared between the intervention and control groups.
Measured: At entry into the burn dressing room and immediately before initiation of sedoanalgesia (Day 1)
