Objective: To describe the effect of VR on pain during the venipuncture process in children and adolescents in a private institution in Bogot\u00e1. Materials and Methods: An unblinded, randomized, experimental study was conducted in the emergency room of a fourth-level care facility. The sample consisted of 46 children and adolescents between the ages of 7 and 14. Twenty-three were randomly assigned to the experimental group with a VR headset and 23 to the control group. The dependent variable \u2018pain\u2019 was measured before, during, and after venipuncture using the visual analog scale (VAS) of pain. Results: Perceived pain is different before and after the procedure; however, using the VR headset did not show any statistical or clinical differences during the venipuncture procedure.   Discussion: Variables such as vital signs, venipuncture time, and follow-up were important in measuring symptoms such as pain at venipuncture.   Conclusion: VR can be used by nurses; however, more research must be done to demonstrate its effect on pain control during venipuncture, considering a greater power of the study, type of pain, and variables such as family support and nurses\u2019 time of experience.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.15649\/cuidarte.3385","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,10]],"date-time":"2024-07-10T19:53:12Z","timestamp":1720641192000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.15649\/cuidarte.crossmark","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Effect of virtual reality distraction on venipuncture pain in children in the emergency room"],"prefix":"10.15649","volume":"15","author":[{"name":"Pontificia Universidad Javeriana, Bogot\u00e1, Colombia.","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3979-3533","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mar\u00eda Elizabeth","family":"G\u00f3mez-Neva","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0595-1716","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Karol Johanna","family":"Bri\u00f1ez Ariza","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"name":"Universidad de Ciencias Aplicadas y Ambientales UDCA, Bogot\u00e1, Colombia.","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9712-4226","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Leidy Johana","family":"Iba\u00f1ez Rodriguez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"name":"Hospital Universitario San Ignacio, Bogot\u00e1, Colombia.","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"6285","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,3]]},"container-title":["Revista Cuidarte"],"original-title":[],"link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/revistas.udes.edu.co\/cuidarte\/article\/download\/3385\/3080","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/revistas.udes.edu.co\/cuidarte\/article\/download\/3385\/3081","content-type":"text\/html","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/revistas.udes.edu.co\/cuidarte\/article\/download\/3385\/3082","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/revistas.udes.edu.co\/cuidarte\/article\/download\/3385\/3083","content-type":"text\/html","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/revistas.udes.edu.co\/cuidarte\/article\/download\/3385\/3080","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,22]],"date-time":"2024-07-22T12:16:36Z","timestamp":1721650596000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/revistas.udes.edu.co\/cuidarte\/article\/view\/3385"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2024]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"2","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,3]]},"published-print":{"date-parts":[[2024]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.15649\/cuidarte.3385","relation":{},"ISSN":["2216-0973","2346-3414"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2216-0973","type":"print"},{"value":"2346-3414","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2024]]}}}
