This randomized controlled trial will evaluate the effect of Virtual Reality (VR) and tablet-based distraction techniques on children's behavioral distress during urinary catheterization, compared with a control group receiving standard care. Urinary catheterization is a painful and distressing procedure for children that requires effective non-pharmacological interventions to manage anxiety and pain. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of three groups: VR distraction, tablet-based distraction, or control. The findings of this study will provide evidence on the effectiveness of digital distraction methods in reducing behavioral distress and improving the overall experience for pediatric patients undergoing invasive procedures at specialized pediatric centers.
