Objective: To find out the perception of children and their guardians regarding the use of virtual reality goggles in the insertion of peripheral intravenous catheter in Pediatric Emergencies.

Data collection took place in three phases: 1) Invitation to collaborate in the research and interview; 2) Instructional therapeutic toy session with virtual reality goggles; 3) Peripheral intravenous catheter procedure. Data was analyzed using deductive analysis and the DIVA, OSDB and FPS-R scales. Results: Participants were predominantly male children aged seven, accompanied by their mothers. All the children had a good chance of success on their first attempt at the procedure according to the DIVA Scale; virtual reality corroborated collaborative behavior according to the OSDB Scale; and only one child felt the worst pain according to the FPS-R Scale. The qualitative data was categorized into: pre, during and post-procedure. Conclusion: Virtual reality is positive in reducing negative feelings and attenuates physical [...].
