Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of two different distraction methods on reducing pain and fear during blood collection from children.

The study was conducted between January 2020 and May 2021.

Detailed Description

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

The study was a pretest-posttest, parallel group randomized controlled experimental design.

H0: The pain and fear mean scores of the intervention group, in which the distraction method (ball squeezing and blowing bubbles) was applied during the blood collection process, was not different from the control group.

The study was carried out with the participation of 111 children aged 6-12 years and their parents, who underwent blood collection in the emergency department of a state hospital.

Children were randomly assigned to blowing bubbles (n:37), ball squeezing (n:37) and control (n:37) groups. Bubble blowing and ball squeezing methods were used to distract attention during the blood collection process. Data were collected with Child and Family Information Form, Wong Baker Faces Pain Scale, Child Fear Scale. Pretest and posttest measurements were recorded separately by the child, parent and researcher. Descriptive statistics, Chi-square test, one-way analysis of variance, Tamhane's T2 test, t test for dependent groups were used in the analysis of the data. The statistical significance of the results was taken as p\<0,05
