Brief Summary:
A randomized controlled trial will be performed at the Ngwelezana Hospital, Empangeni, South Africa. Paediatric patients between the age of 5-12 years with minor and superficial partial thickness burn injuries who require dressing changes in the outpatient clinic, without sedation, will be randomized into two groups: the control group will receive standard practice of care which concerns a dressing change without any distraction methods, and the intervention group will receive distraction by use of a kaleidoscope as additional method for potential pain alleviation. Patients in both groups will receive paracetamol or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs when required according to hospital protocol. The primary outcome will be the change in pain score from pre-procedural to pain score during the dressing change and will be analysed with a linear regression analysis. Additionally, sub analyses will be performed to evaluate potentially modifying factors on the treatment effect. This will also be evaluated with a linear regression analysis. This will be correlated with care giver and health care worker observational pain scores.
