Summary

This study was planned as a randomized controlled experimental study to minimize the pain, anxiety and fear of the child during venous blood sampling in order to avoid a painful experience in the future. The research will be conducted in the Pediatric Blood Collection Unit of Giresun Gynecology and Obstetrics Training and Research Hospital in children aged 6-10 years. The research data will be collected using the "Information Form on Descriptive Characteristics of the Child and Blood Collection Procedure, Child Anxiety Scale-Disposition (CAS-D), Oucher Scale, Child Fear Scale (CFS), Venham Pictorial Anxiety Scale (VRAAS)" and Nurse-Patient Cooperation and Parent Satisfaction Form (NPPS-EMF).

COMBINATION_PRODUCT

Pediatric Invasive Pictorial Shield (PIPS)

It is a device used to distract children during clinical procedures (blood sampling, invasive procedures, etc.) by making them feel less pain, stress and fear. It is an 18x15 cm 3D printed device designed to be worn around the upper arm, above the elbow, and used to hide the procedure from view and attract the child's attention with stickers printed on one side. The device is fixed on the child's arm by means of a tourniquet that can be interchangeably attached. The child asked questions about the pictures related to the stickers to distract his/her attention from the procedure. While answering these questions, the child will not see the procedures and will pay attention to the pictures, while the procedural procedure (such as blood sampling, intravenous intervention) will be performed. For the children in this group, the pain, fear will be scored 1 minute before, during and 1 minute after the blood collection procedure.

BEHAVIORAL

Distraction cards

Distraction cards consist of picture cards with various hidden pictures and patterns. These hidden pictures and patterns can only seen by the child if he/she looks carefully. During the procedure, the child is expected to focus on the cards and answerabout the pictures and shapes on the cards. In this study, 5X8 cm cards with various pictures and shapes will be used.
