Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Hypothesis 2: The pain and fear of children who squeeze a stress ball during intravenous catheter insertion are lower than the control group Hypothesis 3: There is a difference between the pain and fear scores of children who watch cartoons and squeeze a stress ball.

Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Implementation of Research:
Groups will be formed by computer-aided randomisation. Explanations will be made in accordance with the developmental level before the procedure. In the study, children will be divided into 3 groups as two intervention and one control group. The intervention groups are "Watching Cartoon Film" and "Squeezing Stress Ball". Cartoon Group: Two minutes before the intravenous catheter is inserted, the cartoon film chosen by the child will be started to be watched on the tablet. As a cartoon film, Puzzle Tower or Z Team on TRT Kids channel will be shown to children. Children will be able to watch the cartoon they want. The cartoons will be watched on a 10.2 inch iPad tablet provided by the researcher. Stress Ball Squeezing: Two minutes before the intravenous catheter is inserted, the stress ball will be squeezed. No intervention will be applied to the control group. Pain and fear scores of the child, parent and researcher will be recorded before, during and after the procedure. While the health professional performing the routine intravenous catheter procedure will intervene, the researcher will record the data before, during and after the procedure. The investigators will never perform the intravenous catheter insertion procedure. The researcher will collect relevant data from the child, parent and researcher during intravenous catheter insertion. The data will be recorded by Dr.Hem.Zühal Artuvan, one of the researchers. Consort Flow Diagram of the study is shown in Figure 1.
