Brief Summary

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

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effect of two different non-pharmacologic interventions with the control group in reducing pain due to peripheral intravenous catheterization application in children aged 5-12 years.

Hypotheses:

H1: Pain level differs in the group that received PIK with Palm Stimulator compared to the control group.

H2: The level of fear in the group with PIK application with Palm Stimulator differs from the control group.

H3: Satisfaction level is different in the group with PIK application with Palm Stimulator compared to the control group.

H4: The pain level differs in the group that received PIK application by watching cartoons compared to the control group.

H5: The level of fear is different in the group that received PIK application by watching cartoons compared to the control group.

H6: Satisfaction level is different in the group that received PIK application by watching cartoons compared to the control group.

H7: Pain level is different in the Palm Stimulator PIK group compared to the cartoon group.

H8: The level of fear is different in the Palm Stimulator PIK group compared to the cartoon group.

H9: The satisfaction level in the group with PIK application with Palm Stimulator is different from the cartoon group.

H10: PIK application time is different in the palm stimulator group compared to the control group.

H11: PIK application time is different in the cartoon group compared to the co

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Palm stimulator group

The Palm Stimulator is grasped in the palm during painful interventions and provides stimulation. Blunt protrusions around the apparatus provide tactile stimulation in the palm. The blunt protrusions have been found to reduce the pain perceived during the intervention by closing the pain gate in the spinal cortex by creating stimuli according to the gate control pain theory without penetrating the skin. The researchers who developed the apparatus were contacted via e-mail and permission was obtained for using the palm stimulator.

In the study, the child held the palm stimulator in the palm during the PIK procedure, and the researcher evaluated pain and fear. After the PIK procedure was completed, the child was asked to release the apparatus from the palm.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Palm Stimulator

Intervention Type DEVICE

The apparatus is 1.6 cm in diameter and 4 cm long. It has a cylindrical, non-slippery and easy-to-grasp structure for maximum contact with the palm

Cartoon group

Distraction by watching cartoons is a promising, cost-effective, and non-pharmacologic technique to reduce pain in children undergoing painful procedures. The cartoon was selected by expert researchers from the pediatric field in the research team following the age and consciousness level of the children. A projection device was placed in the intervention room for data collection. The cartoon was projected on a blank wall in the intervention room. The cartoon was played in preparation for the PIK procedure, and children were allowed to watch it until it was completed.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Cartoon

Intervention Type OTHER

The cartoon was projected on a blank wall in the intervention room with a projection device. The cartoon was played in preparation for the PIK procedure and children were allowed to watch it until the procedure was completed.

Control gruup

In the control group, the routine application phase was performed. Age-appropriate children were seated in the blood sampling chair, and those who could not sit were placed on a stretcher, and PIK was performed. The parent was also taken to the intervention room during the procedure.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group
