Control Group
Routine clinical care will be applied to the control group. No action will be taken.
No interventions assigned to this group
Experimental Group
Before blood collection, the child will be shown games with hand puppets and will be asked to watch the image and color with the Coloring Book.
Hand Puppet
Children who come to the hospital's blood collection unit and meet the research criteria will be randomly assigned to the hand puppet group. The scales will be filled out by the nurse and the child five minutes before the blood collection. The researcher will benefit from the experiences of the child development specialist and preschool teacher before the research on puppet scenarios. In the interview room outside the blood collection unit, the child's parent will be asked to tell the researcher about the things the child enjoys and likes. The researcher will show the child puppet characters on various themes and the child will be asked to choose the puppet character he/she wants before the blood collection. The puppet scenarios will be improvised in light of the information received from the child's mother and father during the demonstration and will be shaped according to the child's wishes. In this way, the child will turn the scary hospital environment into an entertaining environm
The Visual Viewing and Coloring Book
Children who come to the hospital's blood collection unit and meet the research criteria will be randomly assigned to the coloring group. The scales will be filled out by the nurse and the child five minutes before the blood is drawn. The Visual Viewing and Coloring Book consists of pictures that require coloring. The children will be given a book before the blood is drawn and will be asked to draw or color a picture as they prefer during the procedure. The fear scale will be assessed by the nurse and the child five minutes before, during, and five minutes after the procedure. The pain scale will be assessed by the nurse and the child during and five minutes after the procedure. The child will be shown the facial expressions on both the fear scale and the pain scale and asked which one it is, and the score corresponding to the facial expression he/she indicates will be recorded. Mothers will stay with their children during the treatment proce
