    PurposeThis experimental study was conducted to determine the effect of using a virtual reality headset on decreasing the pain felt during a venipuncture procedure in children.DesignThis was a randomized controlled study.MethodsThe population included 120 children (experimental group = 60, control group = 60) aged 9-12 years who underwent blood collection at a children's hospital clinic. This study collected data using the information form regarding introductory characteristics of children and the venipuncture procedure, the Visual Analogue Scale, and the Wong-Baker Faces Pain Scale.FindingsThis study found that the levels of pain that experimental group children felt during the venipuncture procedure were lower than the levels of pain indicated by control group children (P < .05).ConclusionsIt was determined that using a virtual reality headset has an effect on decreasing the pain felt during the venipuncture procedure.Copyright © 2019 American Society of PeriAnesthesia Nurses.
