Anxiety Clinical Trial

Official title:
The Effectiveness of Using Animal-Themed Vacutainers to Reduce Fear and Anxiety in Children During Bloodletting

Clinical Trial Summary

The study was designed as a randomized controlled experimental research with the purpose of determining the effect of distraction by using vacutainers of three different animal characters.

Clinical Trial Description

In the literature, it is stated that nurses should use pharmacological and non-pharmacological methods in pain and anxiety management in painful procedures. Evidence-based studies are needed to show the effectiveness of non-pharmacological methods in reducing pain during invasive procedures and to investigate the effects of easy-to-apply methods on pain. In light of this information, this study aimed to compare the effects of vacutainers of three different animal characters on fear, anxiety, and pain in children during bloodletting. The study is a prospective, randomized and controlled trial.Children aged 4 to 7 years who required blood draw were divided into three groups; two groups: experimental and control groups. Animal characters (butterfly, peacock and rabbit) chosen by children in the experimental group was attached to the vacutainer, and then their blood was drawn. The data were obtained by face-to-face interviews with the child, parent and observer before and after the procedure. Children's pain and fear/anxiety levels were evaluated using the Children's Fear Scale and theWong-Baker FACES Pain Scale, respectively. The study population consisted of children aged 4 to 7 years who presented to the children's blood draw room of the hospital. Sample of the study consisted of a total of 1800 children who met the sample selection criteria and were selected via randomization method. Data were collected using the Interview and Observation Form, Children's Fear Scale, and Wong-Baker FACES Pain Rating Scale. ;
