Filter by:Invasive painful interventions such as diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, blood sampling, injection and vaccine administration are among the greatest fears of children and lead to undesirable experiences both in children and in parents and healthcare personnel due to children's reactions to pain (İnal &Canbulat 2015;Tuna 2014; Wolyniez et al. 2013). It is important for healthcare personnel to spend additional time to manage the child's pain, anxiety and fear of medical procedures (Longobardi et al. 2019, Chen et al. 2020). The American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Pain Society recommend alleviating or minimizing stress and pain, including practices such as venipuncture (Özel &Çetin 2020). Pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic techniques are applied to reduce the emotional and physical effects of painful intervention (Özel &Çetin 2020). This study was planned to investigate the effect of the nurse's use of a mask with a cartoon character and the child's playing with a sound and light toy on the child's pain and parental anxiety during peripheral intravenous catheterization.
Aim: Research was conducted to determine the effect of preparation for the procedure with a toy IV catheter before IV catheterization in children aged 6-10 years, on children's pain, fear and emotional indicators. Methods: It is a randomized controlled intervention study. The study was completed with 80 children. There are two groups in the study. Before the IV catheterization, the children in the intervention group were treated with the toy IV catheter developed by the researchers on the knitted doll, and then the procedure was provided to them. Conversely, no intervention was applied to the control group other than the normal procedure of the hospital. Stratified block randomization method was used to assign children to groups. In the study; "Personal Data Collection Form", "Wong-Baker Faces Pain Scale (WBFPS)", "Child Fear Scale (CFS)" and "Child Emotional Manifestation Scale (CEMS)" were used to collect data.
Children often need an intravenous catheter placement for delivery of fluids and medications, a procedure associated with pain and anxiety. In the Emergency Department topical anesthetics are frequently used. Virtual Reality (VR) is an immersive experience using sight, sound, and position sense. Using VR may enhance distraction during the painful procedure and may reduce attention to pain. This study will randomize children (6 - 16 years old) to receive Virtual Reality or standard of care in addition to topical anaesthetics during IV placement procedure. Investigators will measure pain, anxiety and satisfaction, amount of analgesics used and the level of success in placing the IV and compare between the two groups.
