The Effect of Hologram Application on Pain, Anxiety, and Fear Levels in Children During Burn Dressing
Effect of Hologram Application on Pain, Anxiety and Fear Levels During Burn Dressing in Children: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Ataturk University

INTERVENTIONAL
Summary
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.

Interventions
This 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.
