Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This was a randomized controlled trial with parallel groups in which 60 children with cancer aged 6-12 were randomly allocated to a control group (n = 30) and a parent involvement group (n = 30). Each child's anxiety was evaluated by the child using the Children's Fear Scale before, during venipuncture, and each child's pain during the procedure was evaluated by the child using the Wong-Baker Faces Pain Rating Scale. Each child's heart rate and oxygen saturation were measured with a pulse oximeter device before, during the procedure.

Control group (n = 30): Routine venipuncture procedure was applied to the control group. The parent was present in the child's room but did not participate in the procedure.

Parent involvement group (n = 30): A parent was involved in the procedure. The parent held the children in their arms and holding the extremity from which the blood was drawn, holding the hands of children and communicating with their children in the child's room, and in this way the parent was involved in the procedure.

Study Design

Understand how the trial is structured, including allocation methods, masking strategies, primary purpose, and other design elements.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

Randomization was done using the closed envelope method. A total of 60 cards with 30 "parent involvement" and 30 "control" labels were placed in sealed envelopes by the nurse who conducted the study. Children were asked to choose one of these envelopes and placed in the selected group. Children were randomized into two groups: a parent involvement group (n = 30) and a control group (n = 30).
