Summary

The study was conducted as a randomized controlled experimental trial. The children who attended a pediatric surgical clinic for venipuncture divided into two groups via randomization in the computer environment. After the randomization, the children in the guided imagery group listened to a voice recording prepared in a studio during venipuncture. This voice recording named 'Stroll in the Forest' helped the children to imagine that they are strolling in a forest and guided them. On the other hand, no application was performed on the children in the control group during the venipuncture. The primary outcome of the study was pain and secondary outcomes were heart rate and oxygen saturation values. The pain was evaluated by the children, parents, and observer. The pulse and oxygen saturation values were measured before, during, and after the venipuncture.

Guided Imagery

The children in the guided imagery group listened to a voice recording named 'Stroll in the Forest' before and during venipuncture. One minute before venipuncture, children wore an earphone and voice recording started. Children closed their eyes, imagined the text content, and focused on the voice recording while listening to the voice. It is a voice recording that helps the children in the guided imagery group to imagine that they are strolling in a forest and guides them.
