Summary

Medical procedures can cause significant stress and anxiety for children and parents, impacting their overall hospital experience. Numerous studies have demonstrated that techniques aimed at diverting attention during procedures can effectively reduce pain and fear. Considering the rapid advancements in technology and the strong connection between Generation Z children and technology, this study aims to explore the use of hologram technology through a hologram fan and the traditional method of bubble blowing as interventions to assess their impact on pain and fear levels during intravenous blood collection in children.

The study design will follow a randomized controlled trial approach. The sample will consist of patients between the ages of 3 and 12 who meet the sampling criteria and receive outpatient care at the pediatric stem cell outpatient treatment unit between April 2022 and February 2024. Data will be collected using a researcher-prepared form containing introductory information and child pain, fear, and emotional indicator scales for which appropriate permissions have been obtained. The blood collection process will be performed by the unit's nurse, and the observer nurse will complete the scales.

Descriptive statistics, such as mean, standard deviation (median, minimum, maximum), frequency, and percentage values, will be used for data analysis. IBM SPSS Statistics 25.0 (IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows, Version 25.0. Armonk, NY: IBM Corp.) will be employed for data analysis. A significance level of 0.05 will be used for all statistical analyses.
