“…The samples of children were heterogeneous and included various settings (ambulatory and elective) and types of surgery (dental, otorhinolaryngology, genital, urologic, ophthalmological, urological, orthopaedic, abdominal or general) (see Table 2 ). The durations considered before the induction of anaesthesia ranged from 20 min (Al‐Nerabieah et al, 2020 ; Clausen et al, 2021 ; Dwairej et al, 2020 ; Forouzandeh et al, 2020 ; Gao et al, 2014 ; Marechal et al, 2017 ; Stewart et al, 2019 ; Ünver et al, 2020 ) to 24 h (Chaurasia et al, 2019 ; Hashimoto et al, 2020 ). Most of the interventions lasted between 5 min (Al‐Nerabieah et al, 2020 ; Buyuk et al, 2021 ; Dehghan et al, 2019 ; Jung et al, 2021 ) and 15 min (Eijlers, Dierckx, et al, 2019 ) (Table 2 ).…”

Background Games are increasingly being used as a means of alleviating pain and anxiety in paediatric patients, in the view that this form of distraction is effective, non‐invasive and non‐pharmacological. Aims To determine whether a game‐based intervention (via gamification or virtual reality) during the induction of anaesthesia reduces preoperative pain and anxiety in paediatric patients. Methods A systematic review with meta‐analysis of randomised controlled trials was performed in accordance with the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta‐Analyses) guidelines and using RevMan software. The review was based on a search of the EMBASE, CINAHL, Medline, SciELO and Scopus databases, conducted in July 2021. No restriction was placed on the year of publication. Results 26 studies were found, with a total study population of 2525 children. Regarding pain reduction, no significant differences were reported. For anxiety during anaesthesia induction, however, a mean difference of −10.62 (95% CI −13.85, −7.39) on the Modified Yale Preoperative Anxiety Scale, in favour of game‐based intervention, was recorded. Conclusions Game‐based interventions alleviate preoperative anxiety during the induction of anaesthesia in children. This innovative and pleasurable approach can be helpful in the care of paediatric surgical patients. Relevance to clinical practice In children, preoperative management is a challenging task for healthcare professionals, and game‐based strategies could enhance results, improving patients’ emotional health and boosting post‐surgery recovery. Distractive games‐based procedures should be considered for incorporation in the pre‐surgery clinical workflow in order to optimise healthcare.

“…The information should be in the person's own language (Rantala, Pikkarainen, & Pölkki, 2020 ) and, when provided to children, based on their age and understanding (EACH, 2016 ; Quaye et al., 2019 ). Several mHealth studies describe the development of web‐based games that prepare children for their surgery (Buffel et al., 2019 ; Chow et al, 2017 ), with several examples of approaches using virtual reality (Al‐Nerabieah et al., 2020 ; Jung et al., 2021 ). Furthermore, additional web‐based interventions aiming to reduce anxiety before treatment have been developed with both children and family members (Fortier et al., 2015 ; Wright et al., 2020 ).…”

A gamified mobile health intervention for children in day surgery care: Protocol for a randomized controlled trial

Aims: To describe a study protocol for a randomized controlled trial which will evaluate the effectiveness of a gamified mobile health intervention for children in whole day surgery care.Design: A study protocol for a two-arm randomized controlled trial.Methods: Participants will be randomly assigned to the intervention group (N = 62), in which patients receive routine care and play a mobile game designed for children or the control group (N = 62), in which patients receive routine care, including a mobile phone application that supports parents during the care path. The primary outcome is children's pre-operative anxiety, while the secondary outcome measures included fear and postoperative pain, along with parental satisfaction and anxiety. Data collection started in August 2020. Results:The results of the ongoing randomized controlled trial will determine whether the developed gamified mobile health intervention can be recommended for hospital use, and whether it could be used to educate children about their surgical treatment to decrease anxiety.

“…As self-reported measures were prioritized, most of the studies thus received a high risk of bias judgment in domain 4 (bias in measurement of the outcome). Blinding of outcome assessors and personnel conducting the medical procedures was only feasible in studies that applied VR before the medical procedure and only reported observational measures of either pain or anxiety (Al-Nerabieah et al, 2020;Eijlers et al, 2019b;Ryu et al, 2017;Ryu et al, 2018;Ryu et al, 2019). The lack of blinding may also have affected the behavior of patients, parents, carers, and others.…”

Distraction and procedural preparation techniques are frequently used to manage pain and anxiety in children undergoing medical procedures. An increasing number of studies have indicated that Virtual Reality (VR) can be used to deliver these interventions, but treatment effects vary greatly. The present study is a systematic review and meta-analysis of studies that have used VR to reduce procedural pain and anxiety in children. It is the first meta-analytic assessment of the potential influence of technical specifications (immersion) and degree of user-system interactivity on treatment effects. 65 studies were identified, of which 42 reported pain outcomes and 35 reported anxiety outcomes. Results indicate large effect sizes in favor of VR for both outcomes. Larger effects were observed in dental studies and studies that used non-interactive VR. No relationship was found between the degree of immersion or participant age and treatment effects. Most studies were found to have a high risk of bias and there are strong indications of publication bias. The results and their implications are discussed in context of these limitations, and modified effect sizes are suggested. Finally, recommendations for future investigations are provided.
