The aim of this study is to examine the effects of augmented reality (AR) games on pain, fear, and care satisfaction, and to contribute to the literature on innovative interventions that enhance the healthcare experiences of children undergoing allergy testing.
H1: The pain level of children undergoing allergy testing in the AR group is lower than that of children in the control group.
H2: The fear level of children undergoing allergy testing in the AR group is lower than that of children in the control group.
H3: The care satisfaction level of children undergoing allergy testing in the AR group is higher than that of children in the control group.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Intervention Arm (AR Group) | Experimental | Children in this group will be exposed to an augmented reality game during the allergy testing procedure. The game will be used as a distraction method to potentially reduce pain and fear, and enhance care satisfaction. |
|
| Control Arm (Standard Care Group) | No Intervention | Children in this group will undergo allergy testing following standard clinical procedures without any AR intervention or distraction. |

| Augmented Reality | Other | In this intervention children will play an augmented reality game during the allergy testing procedure. The game will be used as a distraction method to potentially reduce pain and fear, and enhance care satisfaction. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Pain Level | Wong-Baker FACES Pain Rating Scale is used for this measurement. This scale consists of six facial expressions that represent increasing levels of pain, ranging from "No pain" (0 points) to "Worst pain" (10 points). Children are asked to point to the face that best matches the pain they are experiencing. | Immediately after the allergy testing procedure. |
| Fear level | Children's Fear Scale is used for the fear measurement. This self-report tool consists of six facial expressions corresponding to fear levels, rated from 0 (no fear) to 10 (maximum fear), in increments of two points. Children are asked to select the face that best represents their emotional state. | Immediately before and after the allergy testing procedure. |
| Care Satisfaction | Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for Care Satisfaction is used to assess the child's satisfaction with the care received during the allergy test. The score ranges from 0 ("Not satisfied at all") to 10 ("Completely satisfied"). | Immediately after the allergy testing procedure. |
