No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Venipuncture, a frequently performed needle-related procedure, is one of the foremost frightening experiences, and a typical source of moderate to severe pain for pediatric patients.

No randomized studies have compared the effectiveness of balloon inflation, cough trick, and TICK-B on reducing pain in children between 6 and 12 years old during the drawing of venous blood samples. The research hypothesis was that children who draw and color a picture, inflate a balloon, or perform the cough trick while having their blood taken would experience less pain and anxiety than children who did not undergo a pain-reducing intervention.

Objectives:

To evaluate the roles of the TICK-B, balloon inflation, and cough trick in relieving pain and fear of school-age children during venipuncture.

To compare the effect of TICK-B with the effects of the cough trick, balloon inflation, on reducing pain and anxiety during venipuncture in children.

To compare the effects of three distraction groups with the control group in relieving pain and anxiety during venipuncture.
