Summary

Pediatric nurses have a key role in reducing pain related to interventions during the hospitalisation process. In this context, according to the type of invasive intervention, the nurse determines the appropriate non-pharmacological methods for the effective management of pain, taking into account the child\'s individuality, developmental stage and clinical presentation. For children during the hospitalisation process, the removal of a peripheral venous line is a painful and stressful experience, as is the insertion of a peripheral venous line. Children experience acute pain during the removal of hypoallergenic adhesives used for fixation of the peripheral venous line. The practice guideline recommends the use of alcohol-free silicone-based aerosol sprays for the removal of medical adhesive/ fixation materials (NICU Brain Sensitive Care Committee, 2015).

In this study, it was aimed to examine the effect of ball squeezing (active distraction) as a distraction method and the use of alcohol-free silicone-based aerosol adhesive remover spray on pain and fear in children aged 6-9 years during peripheral intravenous cannula removal.
