简要总结
The study was designed as a randomized controlled experimental research with the purpose of determining the effect of distraction by using Virtual Reality Glasses, Kaleidoscope and Distraction Cards in reducing pain and anxiety during blood draw in children.
详细描述
n the literature, it is stated that nurses should use pharmacological and non-pharmacological methods in pain and anxiety management in painful procedures. Evidence-based studies are needed to show the effectiveness of non-pharmacological methods in reducing pain during invasive procedures and to investigate the effects of easy-to-apply methods on pain. In light of this information, this study aimed to compare the effect of distraction by using Virtual Reality Glasses, Kaleidoscope and Distraction Cards in reducing pain and anxiety during blood draw in children.
This study is a prospective, randomized and controlled trial. Children aged 7 to 11 years who required blood draw were divided into three groups; Virtual Reality Glasses, Kaleidoscope, Distraction Cards and Control. Data were obtained through face-to-face interviews with the children, their parents, and the observer before and after the procedure. The children's pain levels were assessed and reported by the parents and observers and the children themselves who self-reported using Wong-Baker FACES. The children's anxiety levels were also assessed using the Children's Fear Scale.
The study population consisted of children aged 7 to 11 years who presented to the children's blood draw room of the hospital.
Sample of the study consisted of a total of 400 children who met the sample selection criteria and were selected via randomization method.
Children were randomized into three groups: Virtual Reality Glasses group (n= 100), Kaleidoscope group (n= 100), Distraction Cards group (n= 100) and Control group (n= 100).

Wong-Baker FACES Pain Rating Scale
时间窗: Through painful procedure completion, an average of 10 minutes
In the study, pain level evaluations, the children's self-evaluations, parents' evaluations and the researcher's evaluations were carried out using the WB-FACES scale. This scale was developed by Donna Wong and Connie Morain Baker in 1988. The scale is graded between 0-10 points. A smiling face on the far left symbolizes "no pain" (0 very happy/no pain) and the pain increases from left to right. On the other hand, a crying face on the far right symbolizes "unbearable pain" (10 'hurts worst'). As the numbers increase in this scoring system, facial expressions also change referring to an increase in pain levels.
Children's Fear Scale
时间窗: Through painful procedure completion, an average of 10 minutes
CFS is used for measuring the child's anxiety level. CFS is a scale which makes an evaluation from 0 to 4 consisting of five facial expressions drawn to show expressions that vary from neutral expression (0=no anxiety) to scared face (4=severe anxiety).
