17 Qualitative feedback: thematic analysis 1. Reduced patient pain and distress I felt the needle but was to distracted by VR to care - Child 2. Supported procedural aspects Have taken blood from this little girl before. Felt this child was much calmer than last time - Proceduralist 3. Suggestions for future Would be better if she got to watch it longer before the blood test. We were rushed at pathology and didn't get to try it beforehand - Caregiver

18 Pragmatic pilot General hospital VR used by treating clinicians Variety of procedures Streamlined clinician UX Easy operation Looping Training

19 Pragmatic pilot General hospital VR used by treating clinicians Variety of procedures Streamlined clinician UX Easy operation Looping Training 500+ uses Supported clinician workflow Improved child experience Greater family satisfaction - Introducing VR to child - Ongoing clinician training Whenever we had a difficult patient, [clinicians] did reach for the goggles and they have been wonderful - ED Area Manager

20 Conclusion In two concurrent studies, VR reduced the primary endpoint of pain and the secondary outcomes of anxiety, need for restraint Outcomes were robust in statistical analyses, and triangulated against qualitative data Adopted in pragmatic pilots in general hospital settings VR should be considered as a useful needle adjunct Chan et al.
