Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Faces Pain Scale-Revised (FPS-R) for patients aged 4-11	Detailed qualitative review of cognitive interview probes with question-by-question analysis of transcribed cognitive interviews to assess for basic comprehension and appropriate use of the FPS-R.	during vascular access procedure
Primary	Numerical Rating Pain Scale (NRPS) for patients aged 12-17	NRPS is a 11-point (0-10) Numeric Rating Pain Scale (NRPS), where 0 = no pain and 10 = worst possible pain.	during vascular access procedure
Secondary	External observation for pain and anxiety using HRAD scale	HRAD contains 5-item scale assessing participant's affective state; happy, relaxed, anxious, distressed, with a yes/no answer to cooperation.	during vascular access procedure
Secondary	External observation for pain and anxiety using OBSD-r scale	OBSD-r contains 8-item scale assessing participant's affective state; Information Seeking, Crying, Screaming, Restraint, Verbal Resistance, Emotional Support, Verbal Pain and Flail.	during vascular access procedure
Secondary	modified induction compliance checklist (mICC)	The mICC score will be recorded by the trained research observers during the vascular access procedure. Perfect compliance (score of 0) was compared to those that lacked cooperation. mICC will be rated at the time of intervention and only requires one RA.	during vascular access procedure
Secondary	Self formulated procedural satisfaction survey	The survey contains 10 items and utilizes a 5-point Likert agreement scale with a score of 1 meaning "completely disagree" and 5 meaning "completely agree."	after vascular access procedure
