Efficacy of Mindfulness as an Intervention in the Pediatric Emergency Department
Non-pharmacological interventions including distraction techniques (ie., games, ipads, bubbles, stickers) are standard of care in reducing situation anxiety for children in the pediatric emergency department. The goal of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of a mindfulness based virtual reality (mbVR) tool (Take-Pause) for pediatric patients age \> 12 years. The study team will be providing children with a virtual reality experience upon arrival to the emergency department and measuring the effectiveness of the intervention versus standard of care (Ipads, games). Subjective measurements will include questionnaires and objective measurements will include vital signs.
