Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Study group	Virtual reality	The children will receive virtual reality intervention which will take place using a cell phone coupled with the three-dimensional image glasses. The cell phone will play three-dimensional games which will be downloaded for free. The options for images and games involved which children could choose freely, all games will be suitable for the age group of the study.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Physiological parameters assessment sheet: respiratory rate	• 10 minutes before hydrotherapy session. • 5 minutes after hydrotherapy session started without VR. • 5 minutes after hydrotherapy session started using VR. • Immediately before hydrotherapy session VR. • 10 minutes after the hydrotherapy session.	cycle per minure
The clinical data assessment sheet:cause of burn, total body surface area burned, location of the burn, number of wounds, and the number of hydrotherapy sessions already undergoing.	• 10 minutes before hydrotherapy session. .	clinical data
Physiological parameters assessment sheet:O2 saturation.	• 10 minutes before hydrotherapy session. • 5 minutes after hydrotherapy session started without VR. • 5 minutes after hydrotherapy session started using VR. • Immediately before hydrotherapy session VR. • 10 minutes after the hydrotherapy session.	More than 95%
Physiological parameters assessment sheet heart rate	• 10 minutes before hydrotherapy session. • 5 minutes after hydrotherapy session started without VR. • 5 minutes after hydrotherapy session started using VR. • Immediately before hydrotherapy session VR. • 10 minutes after the hydrotherapy session.	beat per minute

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Pain Assessment Scale	• 10 minutes before hydrotherapy session. • 5 minutes after hydrotherapy session started without VR. • 5 minutes after hydrotherapy session started using VR. • Immediately before hydrotherapy session VR. • 10 minutes after the hydrotherapy session.	The behavioral/observational pain scale that adopted from (Merkel et al, 1997) will be used in this study to evaluate the children's pain intensity using the FLACC categories. Each of the five categories (F)face, (L) Legs, (A) Activity, (C) Cry, (C) Consol ability, is scored 0-2, which result in total pain rating scale 0-10 (0 = no pain, relaxed and comfortable, 10 = severe pain/discomfort).
