Study Summary

This trial will explore whether VR can improve wellbeing in hospitalized kids compared to traditional care.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for pediatric patients aged 5 to 25 at LPCH/SHC facilities looking to improve their self-efficacy in healthcare settings. It's not suitable for those who are pregnant, clinically unstable, non-consenting, use corrective glasses (incompatible with VR), prone to motion sickness or seizures, or currently nauseous.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study is testing whether using Virtual Reality (VR) can boost self-confidence in young patients during healthcare compared to the usual care without VR. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either the standard of care alone or with an additional educational VR experience.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

While there aren't direct side effects from the intervention itself, participants should be aware that using VR could potentially cause temporary discomfort like dizziness or nausea.
