Effect of AI(Artificial Intelligence)-Based Storytelling Video on Anxiety and Fear During Skin Prick Test in Children

This study evaluates the effectiveness of an AI-generated therapeutic storytelling video on pre-procedural anxiety and fear levels in children aged 4 to 10 years undergoing their first Skin Prick Test (SPT). The study aims to determine if watching a cognitive preparation video at home prior to the appointment reduces anxiety compared to standard care. Participants will be randomized into two groups: an intervention group watching the AI-generated video and a control group receiving standard clinic care

Inclusion Criteria: * Children aged between 4 and 10 years (from 4th birthday to 11th birthday). * Children undergoing a Skin Prick Test (SPT) for the first time. * Presence of suspected Allergic Rhinitis and/or Asthma. * Cognitive ability to understand Turkish, follow the video story, and interpret visual assessment scales. * Parents with internet access to view the digital content. * Obtained parental informed consent and child assent (for ages 7 and above) Exclusion Criteria: * Previous experience with Skin Prick Testing or a history of frequent medical procedures (e.g., frequent blood draws, surgeries) due to chronic illness. * Diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder, severe ADHD(attention deficit hyperactivity disorder), intellectual disability, or severe psychiatric conditions preventing cooperation. * Significant visual or hearing impairments that prevent engagement with the video content. * Use of anxiolytics, sedatives, or medications affecting cognitive functions within the last 24 hours. * Chronic health problems (e.g., malignancy, immunodeficiency) that may elevate baseline anxiety levels. * Patients undergoing SPT for suspected Food Allergy, Drug Allergy, or Bee Venom Allergy. * For the intervention group: Failure to watch the video or answering the three "validation questions" incorrectly on the procedure day.
