Buzzy Group

The Buzzy device was placed 5-10 cm above the injection area and making sure that it was in contact with the skin. The ice pack was kept in the deep freezer and placed into the device before the application. Buzzy was introduced to the children pre-procedure. Cold application and vibration were started pre-procedure and maintained until the procedure was completed. Following the Buzzy application, the device was wiped with 70% alcohol and used for other children. The Buzzy devices were kept in the deep freeze and refrozen. The same person conducted the pain reduction methods during phlebotomy.

The children were made to watch a video with VR glasses 2-3 minutes before starting the application and it continued until the end of the phlebotomy procedure (three minutes on average). 3D video suggestions (Space Experience, Blue Whale 360 VR Experience) were offered to the children before the phlebotomy procedure and they were asked to choose one of them.
