Brief Summary

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

Although distraction methods such as virtual reality glasses, watching videos, watching cartoons, etc. have been reported to reduce pain in the literature, studies on which method is more effective in reducing pain are limited. Considering the developmental period characteristics, virtual reality glasses and stress ball squeezing may be effective in the 6-12 age group during painful intervention. However, no study has been found in the literature on which technique is more effective (9-23). Therefore, investigating the effects of virtual reality goggles and stress ball squeezing on pain and fear in children aged 6-12 years as a distraction method during intravenous catheterization may enable nurses to determine the technique with high clinical usefulness in pain management.
