Overview
Brief Summary
This study aims to determine the effect of using Coolsense, which is created using the proven effect of cold application during insulin injection, and Buzzy, which is a combination of vibration and cold application, in reducing pain and anxiety in children diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes mellitus.This randomized controlled clinical study is planned to be conducted between 05.2024-12.2025 with 147 participants between the ages of 6-12. Participants will be divided into three groups according to the randomization method: buzzy group (n = 49), coolsense group (n = 49) and control group (n = 49). Participants in the Coolsense group will receive a cold application using the coolsense device for 5 seconds before the injection. Participants in the Buzzy group will be subjected to vibration and cold application 30-60 seconds before the procedure. Participants in the control group will continue the clinic's standard procedure. Changes in participants' pain score and fear level, heart rate, blood pressure, respiratory rate and oxygen saturation will be measured at three time points: immediately before and after the procedure. Data descriptive information form, application registration form, Facial Expressions Pain Scale (FPS-R) and Child Fear Scale (CFS) will be used. The collected data will be analyzed using SPSS 15 software. The main questions it aims to answer:
- Does buzzy and coolsense application have an effect the pain score of children during the insülin injection?
- Does buzzy and coolsense application have an effect the fear score of children during the insülin injection?
Detailed Description
Children between the ages of 6-10, who is diagnosed at least 2 weeks ago, will be included in the study.Patients with intellectual or neurological disabilities, Raynaud syndrome or sickle cell anemia will excluded from the study.

Arms & Interventions
Coolsense
For children in this group, the standard approach of the clinic will be applied first. The researcher will apply scales to the child before the procedure, the Child-Parent Information Form to the parents, and the child, parent and independent observer before and after the procedure. The patient's physiological parameters will be recorded by the nurse performing the procedure before, during and after the procedure. The device, which is removed from the freezer just before the injection, will be applied by the researcher to the skin surface where the procedure will be performed for approximately 5-10 seconds before the injection, and then the injection will be performed.
Intervention: Coolsense and Buzzy
Buzzy
For children in this group, the standard approach of the clinic will be applied first. The researcher will apply scales to the child before the procedure, the Child-Parent Information Form to the parents, and the child, parent and independent observer before and after the procedure. The patient's physiological parameters will be recorded by the nurse performing the procedure before, during and after the procedure. The device, which will be removed from the freezer just before the injection, will be placed by the researcher in contact with the skin, 3 to 5 cm above the injection site. Buzzy will be started 30-60 seconds before the process and will continue until the end of the process.
Intervention: Coolsense and Buzzy
Control
For children in this group, the standard approach of the clinic will be applied first. The researcher will apply scales to the child before the procedure, the Child-Parent Information Form to the parents, and the child, parent and independent observer before and after the procedure. The patient's physiological parameters will be recorded by the nurse performing the procedure before, during and after the procedure.
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Heart rate
Time Frame: just before, during and immediately after the procedure
The child's heart rate was monitored with a monitor and recorded on the application registration form.
Oxygen saturation
Time Frame: just before, during and immediately after the procedure
The child's oxygen saturation was monitored with a monitor and recorded on the application registration form.
Blood pressure
Time Frame: just before, during and immediately after the procedure
The child's blood pressure was monitored with a monitor and recorded on the application registration form.
Children's Fear Scale (CFS)
Time Frame: just before injection, just after injection
The scale used to evaluate the level of anxiety in children is a visual measurement tool that consists of five drawn facial expressions ranging from neutral expression (0 = no anxiety) to scared face (4 = severe anxiety) and receives a score of 0-4 points. As the score obtained from the scale increases, the severity of anxiety increases, and as the score decreases, anxiety decreases.
Faces Pain Scale- Revised (FPS-R)
Time Frame: just before injection, just after injection
It consists of facial expressions to evaluate pain intensity and is used in children aged four years and above. The scale consists of six simplified facial expressions that indicate the intensity of pain at increasing levels from 0 to 10 (0-2-4-6-8-10). In the scale, the child is asked to show the facial expression that best describes the intensity of pain. 0 means no pain, 10 means no pain indicates severe pain.
Respiratory rate
Time Frame: just before, during and immediately after the procedure
The child's respiratory rate was monitored with a monitor and recorded on the application registration form
