Overview
Brief Summary
Non-pharmacological methods are often used as a creative strategy to reduce pain and fear in children during a painful procedure such as phlebotomy. In this context, external vibratory cold application and a marionette doll are a commonly used as non-pharmacological distraction method to reduce pain and fear. In the literature, there are studies with cold application, vibrating devices and a marionette doll in bee appearance therefor this study is aimed to evaluate the effect of bee-buzzy vibrating cold application and marionette doll on pain and fear during phlebotomy among preschool children.
Detailed Description
Pain is one of the negative experiences faced in pediatric patients due to various medical interventions and often causes fear and anxiety. Pain perception is affected by the child's age, cognitive development, communication skills, previous pain experiences, and pain beliefs. Severe and long-term pain resulting from interventions can cause behavioral and physiological problems. In this period, if the pain is not alleviated or eliminated with appropriate interventions, it may cause neurological and behavioral disorders in the future. Nurses are responsible for minimizing the pain felt by children exposed to painful interventions and helping them cope with it .

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
child pain
Time Frame: during phlebotomy
Facial expression rating scale (Wong-Baker Faces Pain Rating Scale). The Facial Expression Rating Scale includes 6 facial expressions and is a scale that provides a rating between 0 and 10 (Conlon, 2009; Huguet et al., 2010). Facial expressions range from"0" a smiling "brutal" face, 1-2 "It hurts a little", 3-4 "It hurts a little more", 5-6 "It hurts even more", 7-8 "It hurts a lot", and 9-10 "It hurts worst". This scale does not require words or numerical values and is a reliable and valid measurement tool in the assessment of acute pain. With this scale, the child's pain will be evaluated and recorded by both the nurse who will perform the phlebotomy and the parent.
Secondary Outcomes
