In recent years, technological advances have enabled the development of innovative intervention methods in healthcare. This study aims to examine the effect of augmented reality (AR) technology on pain, anxiety and fear in children during pediatric blood collection procedures. The study is based on a randomized controlled design. Participants were randomized into two groups, the group receiving AR intervention and the control group receiving standard care.
