Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of the study was to determine the effects of providing procedural informational animation, Buzzy application during the procedure, the combination of both interventions (Animated video and Buzzy), and standard care on pain management during venipuncture in children aged 6-12 years.

Description:

A prospective randomized controlled trial design was used to determine the effects of Buzzy, procedural informational animation, multiple interventions (Buzzy and Animated video), and standard care on the pain level of 6-12 years aged children during venıpunctrue. The study was conducted in the territory hospital pediatric blood collection unit The sample size was determined by power analysis and 45 child-parent pairs were included in each group. The patients who met the sample selection criteria were randomly and equally assigned into 4 groups using a computer-based program. As a data collection tools, Data Collection Form and Wong-Baker have been used. Venipuncture-related pain was self-reported by each child, as well as through parents and nurse. Children in the multiple interventions group were shown procedural informative animation and the venipunctıre procedure was performed with buzzy®. Standard care was applied to the control group, in which no local anesthetic was used and families could accompany the bloodletting process. The pain responses of the children were evaluated twice, immediately after the procedure (while the child was sitting in the blood collection chair) and 2-3 minutes after the procedure, both by the children's self-reports and by the parents and the nurse.

Related Conditions & MeSH terms

• Child
• Pain, Procedural
• Phlebotomy
• Venipuncture

Intervention

Other:
• Providing procedural informational animation video
Children and parents have watched procedural informational animation before venipuncture. Afterward, the children and their parents entered the blood drawn unit, and the procedure was performed as in standard care.

Device:
• Buzzy
Buzzy® was placed on the injection site and it was turned on 60 s before the procedure. Then, the nurse moved Buzzy® about 3-5 cm above the injection site. The procedure was performed with buzzy®. The Buzzy® intervention and phlebotomy were terminated at the same time.

Combination Product:
• Multiple interventions
Watching procedural informational animation video prior to venipuncture, and Buzzy application during venipuncture

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Pain assessment	Pain intensity was assessed Wong-Baker FACES Pain Rating Scale. It is used to determine the pain level of children aged between 3 and 18 years through their facial expressions which are assigned the values of 0 and 10. The first face represents a pain score of 0, and indicates "no hurt". The last face represents a pain score of 10, and indicates "hurts worst."	The pain was measured at 30 seconds after (immediately) the venipuncture.
