Clinical Trial Summary

Purpose: This study investigates the effects of squeezing a soft ball, using a kaleidoscope, or blowing bubbles during intravenous cannulation on the pain and fear of children between the ages of 4 and 6. Design and Methods: This study is a randomised controlled study. In the study, there were 30 children in the soft ball group, 30 children in the kaleidoscope group, 30 children in the bubbles group, and 30 children in the control group.


Clinical Trial Description

15 minutes before the intravenous cannulation procedure, the second researcher interviewed the parents and the children in squeezing soft ball, kaleidoscope, blowing bubbles and control groups separately and filled in descriptive information form and Children's Fear Scale. After randomization, the second researcher, the child and the parent went to the blood collection room for the procedure. Children in the Kaleidoscope group were given the kaleidoscope before intravenous cannulation and they were shown how to use it. The children were told to look at the kaleidoscope during the procedure until the procedure ended. The children in the squeezing soft ball group were given the ball before the procedure. They were told to squeeze and loosen the ball with the hand that was not used for the procedure while intravenous cannula was being inserted. The children in the blowing bubble group were shown the bubble blower before intravenous cannulation and they were told how bubbles were formed and how they would blow. During intravenous cannulation, the child blew the blower. Routine procedures were applied on the children in the control group without any interventions. Inserting the intravenous cannula took 3-5 minutes. The procedure was carried out in the same room by the same nurse for four of the groups. After the intravenous cannulation procedure ended, a researcher and parents filled in Faces Pain Scale-Revised and Children's Fear Scale separately and independently to find out the level of pain and fear experienced by the child during the procedure. ;
