This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study is testing whether different types of videos — regular 2D videos, 360-degree videos, and virtual reality videos — can help reduce anxiety in children and young adults before they undergo medical procedures. Researchers want to see if more immersive video experiences (like VR) are better at preparing kids for what to expect and making them feel less scared compared to simpler video formats.
Many children feel significant anxiety and fear before medical procedures, which can make the experience harder for both the child and medical staff. This research aims to find out if preparing children with realistic video previews — especially more immersive ones — can help reduce that anxiety and improve their overall healthcare experience.

You will be randomly assigned to watch one of three types of educational videos about your upcoming procedure on your smartphone — either a simple 2D video, a 360-degree video, or a 360-degree video using a VR headset. Before and after watching your assigned video, you'll complete brief surveys through a secure mobile app to share how anxious or nervous you're feeling. The whole process takes place on your own phone and is designed to prepare you for what to expect during your procedure.
