Interventions

OTHER

Bubble Blowing Group

In the Bubble Blowing Group, children were given a bubble toy during the procedure and asked to blow bubbles. This method, which requires active motor participation, was used to divert the children's attention away from the stress of the procedure.

OTHER

Positive Reinforcement Group

In the Positive Reinforcement Group, children performed a non-material cognitive activity of their choice during the procedure (such as counting, reciting a short poem/song, or a word game). At the end of the procedure, verbal positive reinforcement was provided (e.g., "Well done," "You were very brave").
