简要总结
This research is a randomized controlled experimental study designed to determine the effect of the Quantum-Touch method applied during the vascular access procedure in children aged 7-12 years, on the level of pain, fear and anxiety in children.
详细描述
Quantum-Touch was first described by Richard Gordon and Bob Rasmusson in 1978; it activates life force energy by combining various hand positions, various breathing techniques and body awareness exercises. It is applied by directing the formed high energy field to an area of pain, stress or illness through therapeutic touch. Tully found that Quantum Touch in reducing acute and chronic pain; Walton reported that Quantum-Touch application is effective in chronic musculoskeletal pain. It is important to conduct studies with a high level of evidence investigating the effect of Quantum Touch, which is a non-pharmacological method, on pain, fear and anxiety for children of different age groups, which is easily applied during invasive procedures. Based on this information, in this study, which was planned in a randomized controlled and experimental design, it was aimed to determine the effect of the Quantum-Touch method applied during the vascular access procedure in children between the ages of 7-12 on the level of pain, fear and anxiety in children.

Child Anxiety Scale-State
时间窗: One minute after the venipuncture procedure
ÇAS-D is similar to a thermometer with a light bulb at the bottom and horizontal lines at intervals that go up. The scale is aimed at children aged 4-10 years. To measure state anxiety (CAS-D), the child is asked to mark what he feels "right now".
Faces Pain Scale-Revize (FPS-R
时间窗: One minute after the venipuncture procedure
This scale consists of 6 facial expressions graded from 0 to 10 according to the presence and severity of pain, and its use is common in children aged 4-16. FPS-R is a valid and reliable individual expression sensitive scale in painful situations in children.
Child Fear Scale
时间窗: One minute after the venipuncture procedure
In this scale, the child is shown a picture containing five facial expressions evaluated between 0 and 4. 0 indicates no fear or anxiety; 4 indicates the highest fear and anxiety. These; "0" neutral expression (no anxiety) "1" little fear (very little anxiety) "2" some fear (some anxiety) "3" more fear (more anxiety) "4" highest possible fear (severe anxiety) .
