Children in the experimental treatment condition will sit in front of the nurse and beside (or on the lap) of a parent. Medi-Port (humanoid robot) will be positioned beside the child (at eye-level) and will execute a pre-programmed series of behaviours to distract the child before, during, and after the SCP needle insertion. The nurse will insert the needle according to hospital procedures, using minimal distraction (e.g., "What's on TV?"). The estimated time for port procedures and completion of the needle insertion will range from 10-30 minutes. The total estimated time which includes the completion of surveys and questionnaires on the pain intensity of the SCP needle insertion procedure and acceptability of Medi-port will be approximately 1 hour. There will be no follow-up visits.

Following consent and randomization, children in the (control) usual care condition will sit in front of the nurse and beside (or on the lap) of a parent. Medi-Port (humanoid robot) will be positioned beside the child (at eye-level) and will execute a standard set of dancing movements only. The nurse will insert the needle according to hospital procedures, using minimal distraction (e.g., "What's on TV?"). The estimated time for port procedures and completion of the needle insertion will range from 10-30 minutes. The total estimated time which includes the completion of surveys and questionnaires on the pain intensity of the SCP needle insertion procedure and acceptability of Medi-port will be approximately 1 hour. There will be no follow-up visits.

Treatment

Accrual rates will be captured by recording data related to the number of eligible children per recruitment day, reasons for ineligibility, and reasons for non-participation.

Acceptability will be measured using the Medi-Port Satisfaction Questionnaire completed by children, parent, and nurses that will collect data on acceptability, perceived utility of pain reducing procedures, and recommendations for changes related to the needle insertion experience.

Outcome measure feasibility will be measured as the percentage of completed outcome measures at baseline and study completion (100% when all questionnaires are completed) and will be recorded on Medi-Port Activity Log.

Technical difficulties (occurrence and description) will be captured using the Medi-Port Intervention Log, designed to record data.

Practical difficulties will be captured using the Medi-Port Intervention Log, designed to record data.

Practical difficulties will be captured using the Medi-Port Intervention Log, designed to record data.

Pain intensity (both retrospectively for previous SCP access and after the study procedures) will be measured. Children will self-report their pain and parents, nurses, and the researcher will use proxy-reporting in rating children's pain. Children will use the Faces Pain Scale-Revised (FPS-R) which has been validated in children 4 years and older. Parents, nurses, and the researcher will use an 11-point numerical rating scale (NRS), with verbal anchors of "no pain at all" at 0 and "the most pain you can imagine this child having" at 10.
