Summary
This study looked at whether playing digital games or watching cartoons can help children aged 5 to 10 feel less pain, fear, and anxiety while getting stitches in the emergency room. A total of 90 children were split into three groups: one played a digital game, one watched cartoons, and one received standard care. The results will show if these fun distractions make the experience less scary and painful for kids.
