Summary
This study tested whether showing children a short movie before an endoscopy procedure can reduce their fear and anxiety and increase their satisfaction.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple, low-cost way to help children feel less scared and more satisfied before medical procedures like endoscopy.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed study with only 90 children, so results may not apply to all kids or settings. The intervention is just a video, so it may not help children with high anxiety or other fears.
