Reduce Stress Associated With Needle Aspiration, in Voluntary and Replacement Blood Donors

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
Reduce stress associated with needle aspiration, in voluntary and replacement blood donors. This study has not been completed.

Detailed Description
-----------------
The purpose of the study is to investigate the effectiveness of Virtual Reality (as a form of distraction) to reduce the stress associated with extraction needle puncture in the volunteer blood donors and reposition of Fixed Collection of the Valparaiso Blood Center, Of the Valparaíso San Antonio Health Service.

Arms and Interventions

| Participant Group/Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
| --- | --- |
| Experimental: Virtual Reality Distractor<br>The objective is to apply a technique, using virtual reality lenses, with relaxing audio-visual contents of no more than ten minutes, to reduce stress before and during the blood donation process and to respond to the level of pain perceived during donation, either post-puncture and withdrawal of the needle | Device: Use of virtual reality lenses, with relaxing audio-visual contents<br>* Use of virtual reality lenses (and audio) as a distraction for the blood donor patients.<br>|
| No Intervention: Traditional Blood Donation Process<br>The objective is to respond to the level of pain perceived during donation, either post-puncture and withdrawal of the needle, without virtual reality support | |

What is the study measuring?
-----------------
Primary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Numerical scale of pain (EN) | Main measure for pain perception | Once finalized the donation that should last a maximum of 15 minutes. | 

Secondary Outcome Measures
