Filter by: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.
Active and passive distraction methods are frequently used in the nursing management of procedural pain in children. There are no studies comparing the effects of watching cartoon (passive) and playing game (active) as distraction methods on pain and fear associated with peripheral intravenous cannula placement in children aged 6-9 years. This study aimed to compare the effects of playing game (active distraction) and watching cartoon (passive distraction) techniques on pain and fear during peripheral intravenous cannula placement in children aged 6-9 years.
