Non-Wearable Audiovisual Distraction for Children's Medical Anxiety in the ED
Effectiveness of Non-Wearable Immersive Audiovisual Distraction in Alleviating Pediatric Anxiety in Emergency Department: A Stratified Randomized Controlled Trial
Pediatric emergency department (ED) visits often cause significant anxiety and stress for young patients due to unfamiliar environments and invasive medical procedures. Non-pharmacological interventions, such as distraction, are vital for reducing pediatric anxiety and improving procedural outcomes.
This study evaluates the effectiveness of a non-wearable, immersive audiovisual distraction system (LG StanbyME display) in alleviating pediatric anxiety during emergency department care, compared to standard care.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
Does non-wearable audiovisual distraction reduce anxiety levels in pediatric emergency patients compared to standard care?
Does the intervention improve physiological indicators of distress, such as Heart Rate Variability (HRV)?
Participants will:
Be randomly assigned to either the non-wearable audiovisual distraction group or the routine care group.
Undergo continuous physiological monitoring (HRV) and clinical anxiety assessment (mYPAS-SF) during their ED visit.

详细说明
Pediatric anxiety in emergency settings can lead to uncooperative behavior, prolonged procedure times, and long-term medical fear. Traditional Virtual Reality (VR) headsets often face clinical limitations in pediatric EDs, such as user discomfort, sanitation challenges, and restricted head/eye movement.
To address these barriers, this stratified randomized controlled trial (RCT) introduces a non-wearable, highly mobile immersive display system (LG StanbyME) combined with interactive soothing content and digital companionship.
Pediatric patients aged 3 to 12 years presenting to the Emergency Department of National Taiwan University Hospital Yunlin Branch will be screened for eligibility. Eligible participants will be randomized into two arms:
Experimental Group: Receives non-wearable immersive audiovisual distraction via the mobile display during ED waiting and procedural periods.
Control Group: Receives standard pediatric ED care without digital distraction devices.
Primary outcomes include objective autonomic nervous system activity evaluated through continuous Heart Rate Variability (HRV) monitoring using a wearable ECG recorder (QOCA ecg103). Secondary outcomes include subjective pediatric anxiety scores assessed via the Modified Yale Preoperative Anxiety Scale-Short Form (mYPAS-SF), parental anxiety, and staff satisfaction.

|
Behavioral anxiety score assessed using the Modified Yale Preoperative Anxiety Scale-Short Form (mYPAS-SF).
The tool evaluates 4 categories (activity, vocalization, emotional expressiveness, and state of arousal), yielding a total score ranging from 22.9 to 100, where higher scores indicate greater procedural anxiety.
