Paediatric fractures are highly prevalent and are most often treated with plaster. The application and removal of plaster is often an anxiety-inducing experience for children. Decreasing the anxiety level may improve the patients' satisfaction and the quality of healthcare. Virtual reality (VR) has proven to effectively distract children and reduce their anxiety in other clinical settings, and it seems to have a similar effect during plaster treatment. This study aims to further investigate the effect of VR on the anxiety level of children with fractures who undergo plaster removal or replacement in the plaster room.

虚拟现实可减少石膏房中儿童的焦虑：一项随机对照试验。


儿童骨折非常普遍，通常用石膏治疗。对于儿童来说，涂抹和去除膏药通常是一种引起焦虑的经历。降低焦虑水平可以提高患者的满意度和医疗质量。事实证明，虚拟现实（VR）在其他临床环境中可以有效分散儿童的注意力并减少他们的焦虑，并且在石膏治疗期间似乎也有类似的效果。本研究旨在进一步探讨VR对在石膏室接受石膏拆除或置换的骨折儿童焦虑水平的影响。
