Brief Summary:
The goal is to explore the use of Virtual Reality (VR) as an intervention to increase intrinsic motivation in a healthcare setting. The investigators would like to determine if an educational VR intervention in the course of healthcare could increase pediatric patient intrinsic motivation compared to standard of care (i.e no VR).
Detailed Description:
While virtual reality has gained momentum as a therapeutic supplement to distract from pain perception and to reduce anxiety, it has received less attention as an intervention to promote more holistic psychological intrinsic motivation in the course of in-patient care. Child and adolescent self-reported measures of intrinsic motivation have also been looked over in favor of parent or practitioner measures of a child's intrinsic motivation.
To evaluate the effectiveness of virtual reality on child and adolescent intrinsic motivation while undergoing hospital care, the investigators will determine the effect of virtual reality to 1) increase pediatric patient intrinsic motivation compared to standard of care using educational virtual reality, 2) establish a comprehensive profile of short-term psychological well-being in school-aged children and adolescents following admission to a hospital. Participants will serve as their own control to either receive intervention on the first day or second day of the in-patient care and no intervention will be given on the other day.
