Clinical Trial Summary
Medical procedures are negative experiences that cause pain, distress, and anxiety and are
not only uncomfortable during medical procedures, especially in children; negative
consequences such as poor recovery, sleep disturbances, and post-traumatic stress symptoms.
There are many different approaches, including pharmacological and non-pharmacological
methods, for the treatment of pain and anxiety in children during medical procedures.
Non-pharmacological methods vary depending on the child's age, level of development and the
type of procedure, and non-pharmacological methods generally used in children fall into three
groups: supportive, physical and cognitive or behavioral methods. Supportive methods are
practices that include psychosocial care of the child, such as reading a book or playing
games. Physical methods include techniques such as cold application, massage, and
transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation. Cognitive or behavioral methods include
practices such as listening to music, daydreaming, relaxation, and various methods of
distraction. Cognitive and behavioral approaches typically use the activating or relaxing
effects of music for arousal or calming and to enhance the learning of certain skills and
behaviors. Music therapy practice reduces pain and anxiety levels by stimulating the
pituitary gland.
Another method used is the use of kaleidoscope. In the literature, they reported that the use
of kaleidoscope is effective in reducing the pain that may occur during blood collection in
studies conducted with preschool and school children, children and adolescents, and
school-age children. The results show that the kaleidoscope can be used effectively to
distract children from the painful procedure and reduce the perception of pain.
Description:
Data Collection After obtaining the necessary institutional permissions, parents and children
will be informed about the research through the "Informed Voluntary Consent Form" in the
interview room 15 minutes before the blood draw. Research data will be collected by the
researcher by face-to-face interview technique. A questionnaire including questions such as
the age of the child, the time of the last blood draw, the parent's presence with the child
will be applied to the parents. To ensure randomisation, children will be asked to choose one
of the sealed envelopes. Then, the blood collection room will be passed to perform the
procedure.
When the child to be taken to Experimental Group 1 sits in the patient's chair, the sound of
the rain stick will be played 1 minute before the blood draw. The nurse will then begin to
prepare the child for the blood draw. The tourniquet insertion procedure and the
determination of the vein from which blood will be drawn from the antecubital region will be
performed by the nurse. Blood collection will be taken from the antecubital region at once by
the same nurse through the vacuum blood collection tube, and blood flow to the vacuum within
5 seconds will show that the procedure is successful. In the meantime, a pulse oximeter will
be attached to the index finger of the hand on the other arm, where blood is not drawn, and
the heart rate will be evaluated before the procedure and after the procedure. This process
will take about 2-3 minutes and the children will listen to the sound of the rain stick
throughout the process. After the procedure is over, the children will be taken out of the
blood collection room and taken to the waiting area, and they will be asked to determine the
severity of pain they feel during the procedure. WBFPS will be used to find out how much pain
the child has during the blood draw, and ÇAS-D will be used to determine the anxiety state.
Pain and anxiety level will be evaluated by the child, nurse, parent and researcher.
The Kaleidoscope will start to be watched 1 minute before the blood draw process, as the
child, who will be taken into Experimental Group 2, sits in the patient's chair. The nurse
will then begin to prepare the child for the blood draw. The tourniquet insertion procedure
and the determination of the vein from which blood will be drawn from the antecubital region
will be performed by the nurse. Blood collection will be taken from the antecubital region at
once by the same nurse through the vacuum blood collection tube, and blood flow to the vacuum
within 5 seconds will show that the procedure is successful. In the meantime, a pulse
oximeter will be attached to the index finger of the hand on the other arm, where blood is
not drawn, and the heart rate will be evaluated before the procedure and after the procedure.
This process will take about 2-3 minutes, and children will be shown a kaleidoscope image
throughout the process. After the procedure is over, the children will be taken out of the
blood collection room and taken to the waiting area, and they will be asked to determine the
severity of pain they feel during the procedure. WBFPS will be used to find out how much pain
the child has during the blood draw, and ÇAS-D will be used to determine the anxiety state.
Pain and anxiety level will be evaluated by the child, nurse, parent and researcher.
No interventional procedure will be applied to the children in the control group. The blood
collection will be arranged in such a way that it is taken from the antecubital region in one
go by the same nurse by means of a vacutainer. In the meantime, a pulse oximeter will be
attached to the index finger of the hand on the other arm, where blood is not drawn, and the
heart rate will be evaluated before the procedure and after the procedure. After the
procedure is over, the children will be taken out of the blood collection room and taken to
the waiting area. WBFPS will be used to find out how much pain the child has during the blood
draw, and ÇAS-D will be used to determine the anxiety state. Pain and anxiety level will be
evaluated by the child, nurse, parent and researcher. In both groups, parents will be
provided with their children in the blood collection room during the procedure.
