Detailed Description

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

n the literature, it is stated that nurses should use pharmacological and non-pharmacological methods in pain and anxiety management in painful procedures. Evidence-based studies are needed to show the effectiveness of non-pharmacological methods in reducing pain during invasive procedures and to investigate the effects of easy-to-apply methods on pain. In light of this information, this study aimed to compare the effect of distraction by using Virtual Reality Glasses, Kaleidoscope and Distraction Cards in reducing pain and anxiety during blood draw in children.

This study is a prospective, randomized and controlled trial. Children aged 7 to 11 years who required blood draw were divided into three groups; Virtual Reality Glasses, Kaleidoscope, Distraction Cards and Control. Data were obtained through face-to-face interviews with the children, their parents, and the observer before and after the procedure. The children's pain levels were assessed and reported by the parents and observers and the children themselves who self-reported using Wong-Baker FACES. The children's anxiety levels were also assessed using the Children's Fear Scale.

The study population consisted of children aged 7 to 11 years who presented to the children's blood draw room of the hospital.

Sample of the study consisted of a total of 400 children who met the sample selection criteria and were selected via randomization method.

Children were randomized into three groups: Virtual Reality Glasses group (n= 100), Kaleidoscope group (n= 100), Distraction Cards group (n= 100) and Control group (n= 100).

Data were collected using the Interview and Observation Form, Wong-Baker FACES Pain Rating Scale, Children's Fear Scale.
